Description

This project documents the making of a LED strobe.
The strobe will be used as the light source for a single-mirror Schlieren photography set-up.
The 3W LED is over-driven and pulsed at 3us at a 40kHz.
The user can adjust the pulse's duration and it's delay after the trigger.
The strobe is Schmitt triggered on the raising edge.
A standard Arduino Nano controls the strobe's functionality.

This project is a sub-project of my main project, "Visualize Sound-010".
