Hi all.. Sorry this is maybe a bit long winded.

I'm Just gathering thoughts together for a project that has family
connection close at heart.

My father (deceased) was a lighhouse keeper on various lighhouses
around Ireland and as one of those Father/Son things, I'd like to keep
remembering him by having something around my home that may seem
unusual to neighbours but meaningful to me plus, a conversation
starter.

I used to have a lighhouse overlooking a garden pond that was powered
by a simple stobe circuit but it was more of a novelty when my dad was
alive.

What I would like to do now as a project is to build a PIC based
project that will simulate the flashing sequence of a particular

Use a TI MSP430 member. It is ultra-low power (sub mA) and will run
from very low voltages. For accurate timing you can add a wrist-watch
crystal, but even that might be overkill.
