An AVR based moonlamp which always lights up just as the real moon.
Using a RTC and pre-programmed full-moon dates this lamp shows the moon in its current phase. Which also means you can't turn it on at all on a new moon ;)
Touch the metal part to turn it on and off. The brightness can be conrolled by touching it for a longer time.
The makefile is set up in such a way that the program is always (re-)compiled before flashing it. During this compiler-run, date and time will be hard-coded in the programm and written to the RTC at first startup. Thus, it is not necessary to set the RTC manually.
cd software/moonlamp
