Larson Scanner Kit - 10mm Diffused LEDs
Discontinued
The Larson Scanner kit creates the iconic sweeping LED light effect seen in Knight Rider's KITT and the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica. Named after producer Glen A. Larson, this easy-to-solder through-hole kit uses nine large diffused red LEDs driven by a pre-programmed ATtiny2313 microcontroller.
No programming required — the microcontroller comes pre-loaded with the scanning animation. All components are through-hole, making this an excellent first soldering project. Source code and design files are available for those who want to customise the effect.
