Going to be syncing the strobe with a 555 timer. Trick is going to be the 5 second delay and 30 second run time. Going to be attempting to use a 556 timer for this.
The last trick is going to be finding the right "vessel" to cram this all into with a power source that is enough to power it and easy to replace. I am partially toying with the idea of making it a sealed unit with a rechargeable cell inside and a plug to charge it.
Keep us posted! Very interested, and interesting project you got going.
