Oh, and I had that for dinner yesterday. BLISSSSS. You guys see this as junk food but here, for me anyway, it is a delicacy ("import"). Hope she doesn't follow that thread she'd kill me lolll

I have done the breathing thing with an TI EZ430-F2012 driving the LED in the breathing pattern.
If you want the code I can send you a copy.
It took a bit of playing but eventually got something decent for the EZ430.
I slowed the rate even more than in the video, plus its only driving one LED so you may need to do a bit more work if it cannot drive as many LED's directly.

Hervé, I am indeed :/
If you guys wants to know what a Limited Edition looks like... well... there you have it. Right there on the kitchen table lol Those are the very (very) last batch of 'made-to-order' GT projectors!
Now the good and bad news:
Bad news first: They haven't shipped out yet. My apologies to all if this seems to take forever
Good news: ALLLLLL of the parts are manufactured, anodized, and ready to be assembled (finally). This will be carried out during the evenings of this week. Assembly is what I call "the easy part" so it should go pretty quickly and without a hitch. No-no machine servo drive burning, no carbide cutter exploding, coolant flooding due to chip jamming, what else happened during the last 4 weeks......etc etc. Assembling those kits is a paradise job (read fun) so I am really looking forward to this week.
Those 23 kits walks out of here this coming weekend and should be in your hands 7~10 days later
(so much else I need to update you guys on but I'll start by finishing what I've started - I bet some of you are waiting for those kit - sorry again)

Thank you for the thoughts Fred. I, nor my colleagues, can understand violating the trust that people place in us. I feel terrible if I don't make a nice smooth landing, and for that matter, the entire flight. It just boggles the mind. I can't possible imagine the horror that Captain went through, knowing he was helpless to save his passengers and crew. Very sad.

They look great, thanks. No rush. You are providing everyone with a great product, and art can't be rushed right? I'm square in the middle of the pack of folks who were on the fence and jumped in at the last minute overwhelming you with orders at the 11th hour. Thanks for putting up with late orders and providing this product at a great price for all of us, so don't knock yourself out trying to rush these out. Wishing you the best - Jim

If you have everything you need set up you could do it in a day easy. It took me a few days as I did it after work / in between cooking and kid time
