Brief

Brian Roemmele posted that he has open-sourced his 1993 circuit design and released version 1.0 of the schematic. The build uses LEDs on wires attached to drilled sunglasses so each LED aligns over a closed eye; he calls the design simple and quick to assemble and says he will publish a detailed how-to soon, requesting user progress updates.

Why it matters

Brian Roemmele open-sourced his original 1993 hardware design and posted version 1.0 of the circuit.

Key details

  • The circuit includes LEDs mounted on a wire to a pair of sunglasses; the frames are drilled so each LED sits over the center of the closed eye.
  • He promises a detailed explanation and how-to soon, describes the build as "simple" and fast to make, and asks followers to report progress.

Ok, I now officially open source my 1993 design!

This is version 1.0 of my circuit.

The LEDs at bottom center is on a wire to sunglasses you drill out as to position the LED over the center of the closed eye.

I’ll write a detailed explanation and how-to soon. But for those who understand this schematic, here it is.

Simple as it can be and fast to make.

Let me know your progress.
