Controlling a flameless candle remotely using a MSP430 microcontroller
So I got this flameless candle for Xmas. It fits rather nicely inside a little candle housing that I have, so why not put this in the living room where it can be remotely controlled?
The cool thing about these flameless candles is that they're pretty realistic looking and they're certainly a lot more convenient than normal candles!
It's connected via a MSP430 Launchpad as I had a spare one.
I use a cron job to switch it on automatically at 8PM and it switches off at midnight.
