Hi all,

A bit late, but I finally got around to post about the netduino powered xmas tree I built. It has (randomly) blinking LEDs, which are fed from two 74HC595 shift registers. The shift registers are controlled through the library from Szymon Kobalczyk (the library for the shift registers is part of the code in the blog post).

It also plays xmas ringtones using the code from Omar. When it plays a ringtone, the LEDs blink in tune with the music.

The code is not optimized, but seems to work fine anyway ;-)

Here's a little video of it in action:

I don't have access to the source or the schema I created, right now, but if anyone is interested, let me know.

Enjoy,
Robert :-)
