RE: [AVR-Chat] RFP - can someone design an LED candle for me?

Yes, although I'm not an expert on candle flicker strange attractor
algorithms, intuitively I believe you are correct.

You might want to join the Yahoo Group: Show-Control

It's a surprisingly professional group with many of the members involved
with theme park, movie, stage, and other entertainment technologies.

I'm sure that several people there will have some good suggestions for
you since many of them have worked with this sort of thing.

I've been on that list for a very long time and have seen people talk
about stuff very similar to what you are looking for.

Coding in a strange attractor might give more realistic flicker. 
I think that flame height and intensity is probably a strange attractor.
Similar to water dripping. It's not random, nor regular.
