So, my point is... if you see a power ring replica that you like NOW, buy it NOW... if you want.![]()
hehe I know that statement very well:ninja

You would be surprised how easy it would be to do. I've already designed two round LED circuit boards- one is 3" diameter and the other is 2" diameter. Each board has 24 super bright LEDs. I've already written code that allows them to pulse- they fade up to full brightness and then fade out. All I would need to do is add the RFID reader and modify the code to get the pulsing right when the ring is near.
Most of the small passive RFID tags have a pretty short reading distance- anywhere from a few millimeters to a few centimeters so the ring would have to be pretty close to the battery for it to work. This could be fun!
I could draw you a picture.
Anyone here know how to use a 3D modeling program for rapid prototyping?
Honus, I would suggest that the battery glow from zero to 3/4 power while on and when the ring is right up on it pulse faster from 3/4 to full power or just say at constant power. I don't know much about led controls but would this work? if it does I will take at least the electronics from you if not the whole ring and battery set.
