Arduino controlled RGB baubles!
youmagine
I'm creating a vibrant string of illuminated ornaments, each one lit by an RGB LED that can be individually controlled using an Arduino. The project's unique feature is that the wiring tutorial for this setup is available from Adafruit's learn platform: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide/overviewI achieved success with just a simple wiring job and installing an LED inside each ornament, utilizing the Arduino neopixel sketch found here: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_NeoPixel/blob/master/examples/strandtest/strandtest.inoEach bauble shines in a separate color as part of the rainbow mode. I'm also adding embossed text to each ornament, spelling out "Merry Christmas". The attached pictures show an ornament with the letter A embossed in red. I need 50 ornaments for this project and have already printed 4. Now, I need to adjust my text size so it's bigger on each bauble. I'm considering either hanging it from the tree as a string of interconnected baubles and LEDs or installing it in the window. With each bauble's color being adjustable, this will give the decor an exclusive lighting effect.
