So Dale asked how many LEDs can you put in a line using the 12F683, and the 19 LED stick was created. Designed for 19 3mm LEDs, but you can get fancy and mount 5mm LEDs on both sides.
It is a 0.6 by 8.25 double-sided circuit circuit board with a hole for hanging from a lariat, that requires assembly and soldering. It has 19 LEDs controlled by a PIC processor. This allows for some fairly intricate blinking patterns. And yes, there is an IR emitter and receiver for two way communication to other blinkie boards.

Some beginners (and some experts) have had trouble soldering the four "battery clips" to the device. The circuit boards come with these components already soldered on.
