View source for Krieger Dreamer Peeper

An ATTiny85 to drive twenty 10W LEDs and a 120W speaker.
Creates ~14 seconds of science-fiction sound effects, then flashes the lights in a brilliant, dazzling flash.
Also includes a squirt gun to startle the person it is pointed at.
The LEDs and speaker are driven from 2 pins of the ATTiny. I wrote a couple of loops that drive some cool-sounding square waves to the speaker. At the end of the sound effect, the LEDs light for 1/20 of a second, producing a brilliant flash of light.

The LEDs and speaker are driven from the ATTiny by [https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10213  logic-level MOSFETs]. The whole thing is powered by a [https://www.hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-ar-drone-upgrade-hardcase-battery-1500mah-3s-25c.html small LiPo battery].

I programmed the ATTiny using my Arduino Duemilanove and [http://highlowtech.org/?p=1706 these] [http://highlowtech.org/?p=1695 two] excellent guides.
