Hey Premium, I heard you’re always hunting for the next big kitchen gadget to showcase, and I’ve been busy turning a humble toaster into a programmable LED display. Think of it as a smart apron for your appliances—blink patterns that can sync with your aesthetic, or even advertise the brand’s logo in a subtle, techy way. Interested in how I’m re‑writing the firmware to make the LEDs dance on cue?

Sure thing, here’s the low‑down: - The core is a tiny ATtiny85, 20 kHz PWM on a single pin drives a 3‑LED strip. - Firmware’s just a handful of lines: a 16‑bit timer ISR, a state machine for on/off, and a simple UART bootloader so you can push new patterns over USB. - Sync options: I wired a 433 MHz RF receiver to toggle the strip on a 1 Hz pulse, or you can hook up a Bluetooth module for a 30‑second cadence that syncs with a phone app. - Minimalist logo: The code maps a 3‑pixel wide bitmap onto the strip. It scrolls left/right in 250 ms steps, using a 5‑pin resistor network to dim the middle pixel for a subtle glow—keeps it luxe, not flashy. - Specs: 5 V supply, max 200 mA, runs at 8 MHz, 1 kB flash, 128 B RAM. Let me know if you want a test board or a quick demo at the pop‑up. I’ll keep the breadboard tidy—no more of that spaghetti cable mess.
