Advanced Flame 1.0
Introduction to the Advanced Flame 1.0 Kit
Thank you for purchasing the Advanced Flame 1.0 Kit. This kit is a microprocessor
controlled high power LED candle that offers several modes of operation including a
variety of brightness levels, modulation levels, and effects. Whether you are looking to
simulate the glowing embers of slowly dying coals in a fire, or a bright flickering flame
in high wind, this kit if for you!
LED candles are definitely one of my most favorite LED applications. I use them almost
everywhere. I use them camping, around my house, for dinner parties, and last but not
least, for illuminating Halloween Jack O’ Lanterns! These LED candles are extremely
bright – not like the junk you buy at your local retail store.
The Advanced Flame 1.0 kit utilizes a PIC microcontroller to produce a randomly
varying pulse width modulated (PWM) output signal which drives a high power CREE
Piranha series amber LED.
This kit is a major upgrade over our previous Digital Candle 1.0 and Digital Flame 1.0
kits in that is offers several modes of operation as well as all thru-hole components. We
recognized that surface components are very difficult to solder for beginners which is
why we felt it was important to offer this kit as a thru-hole only version.
This kit is definitely one of my favorites and I hope you enjoy it too!
