Looks good! You can carve out a 9 volt battery sized hole in a chunk of packaging foam that is sized to compression fit inside the can. Then it's just a matter of squeeze & pull every time you need to change batteries.

hmmm maybe rivet piece of metal on as 9v battery holder(clip)

Pretty useful! Might just have to snatch a few of these up...
That said, I'm probably moving on to the next project. Bends/circuits to me are sort of like paintings: you work on one, get it done to a satisfactory point, then move on to the next one. It's rare for me to go back to try to improve them.

Do you paint?

VERY rarely. Just meant it in an analogous way. Could easily apply to drawing, performance art, even noise.

Dual-555 APC with photo resistors, housed in a soup can. First time working with Vero board and it went a lot smoother than expected, though the final product is slightly less fun than it was on the breadboard. The biggest challenge was finding a way to mount the 9v battery and Ixe2x80x99m still not quite satisfied with my solution (zip ties and snug fit). Live and learn.

maybe put some LEDs somewhere reactive inside the can and/or pots for tweaking it at desired ranges...for each 555...
not completely sure what your attempting...
yet comprehend the APC... with photo resistors...
liking how it looks...

Thusfar just doing the caveman method of flashing a headlamp all around it, and it's honestly working great. My headlamp has bright white led, less bright white led, red led and flashing red led modes: way more dynamc than if I had built a blinking led.

Any clue how to make some type of super APC with CD40106?

Well considering this is the first APC I've ever built, probably not
