hello,
I've been building lightsabers for a while but had a special project that deviated from the norm. I just wanted to share.

Doctor Who sonic screwdriver.

Used what I know about saber building to make these two. Has sound and lights using Atmel microcontroller and Arduino code.
I showed to some people and got comments like "very lightsaber like" or "has a Star Wars look" so I thought I would share here.
I am sharing the code and the schematics with the world as well as step by step instructions. Here is a link..

Please please check it out here.
