Solar Hall Light

V3 of the Hall Light sees the PFS154 swing into action (well, only at around 50kHz) and as well the Stable Joule Thief throwing solar energy at a little AAA NiCad battery.

The code has come a long way since the early days, and here it is in all it's glory:

/*
   OneCircuit Hall Light V3
   (based on PFS154)
   Uses PIR to sense warm body, PIR wakes up IC
   PFS154 uses PWM to light up path for given
   number of seconds, then sleep resumes.

I love the finished product and the journey was pretty nice as well!
