Peace Button? Reminding many of a "peace sign," here's a little ditty you can use to get those LEDs in your drawer 'a sparking. The world's simplest flashlight: Perfect Morse Code signal / survivalist light, with an RGB twist! (RED danger message, BLUE cautionary message, GREEN go message!) Designed by an Eagle Scout to work with 1 - 3 independent LEDs, when working with a 4-pin RGB either a common anode, or cathode, can be used. Decidedly low-polly, this design prints quickly. Intent We plan to add a switch-back to it soon, or feel free to remix + add one yourself? Here is the case 'thang: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2853825 Notes The "exit" port becomes important on common-cathode designs. If your printer is running "stringy", then you could use a paper-clip wire to clear the holes, if and as required. When bending the color leads, we used a U.S. Penny to provide a reasonable gap above each battery contact point. (The year 1943 seems to work best? ;-) If using the optional "side-on" feature, the "light" and "common" ports may be inverted. -You will also probably want to twist-in a resistor. To avoid unnecessary pain, suffering, and blood loss, be sure to trim-off + turn any excess wire(s) back into their hole. Works with just about any size ("DIP") LED.

Not to be used by folks who may be inclined to ingest it, or prick their fingers on the exposed LED pins. (i.e. Darwin was an optimist - Use your common sense?) **WARNING:** Standing outside during a lightning storm while holding this device when wearing metal shoes will result in electrocution if you are struck by lightning. Otherwise, when using a common 3V CR2032 as the power source (as shown,) this thing works great and is completely safe to all mammalian life forms, even under water.
