A BlinkLED is a LED that has its own PIC microcontroller. Blink patterns and blink rates are programmable and BlinkLEDs can be used individually (for LED Throwies) or in strings for holiday or special lighting. I made these because I wanted to trim my Christmas tree with individual blinking lights. With the BlinkLED, I can do that
