Shortcut Leads To Clock Death

摘要

I cannot believe how stupid I have been. I have had the Mesmeriser clock (Silicon Chip, June 2005) running for about six months now and LOVE it! However, the LEDs seem to be the weakness (blue ones). I needed to order more after using up the 10 extras supplied to replace ones in the Jaycar kit that were defective. When one more LED failed about a month after commissioning, I just left it. The stop/start process just seemed to be too much trouble for one LED.
