The other day I saw a product with a flashing LED, the flash rate was set with a knob. Yes, a microcontroller with a pot connected to an analogue input and LED hung off an output port. This is the sort of thing I'd do with a couple of transistors or an NE555 depending on which turned up in the junk box first. $deity I hate modern electronics. -tony
