USB flame lamp

This is odd. I found it while looking at the other USB night light options. It plugs directly into a USB port and does the usual "licking flame" effect, albeit with a very short loop, suggesting maybe a lookup table being used for the animation. My own preference is for a more random effect where it's hard to see the loop repeat if at all. The circuit is simple, so it would make a good base for writing your own code for a microcontroller with matching pinout. The current draw was roughly 30mA. I specifically avoid using intrusive mid-run video adverts.
