This is an online project description for a DIY motion-controlled picture display system using Arduino and IKEA components. The project involves hacking an LED strip, assembling the motorized frame, and programming the motion controller. Here's a summary of the project: **Project Overview** The project consists of three main parts: 1. **Geared Head of Feelings**: A motorized frame that rotates to display pictures. 2. **Illumination**: Modified IKEA LED strips for illumination. 3. **Motion Controller**: An Arduino-based controller that controls the motion and lighting. **Components Needed** * Worm geared motor * Ball bearings (MR83ZZ and MR115ZZ) * M3 hexagon socket countersunk head screws * M3 nuts * Small washers * Frame Ribba 50 cm width (IKEA) * LED-illumination LEDberg 12V (2x) * AlDibond 50 x 50 cm of 3 mm thickness (2x) * PIR-Motion detector (Adafruit) **Modification to IKEA LED Strip** The project requires modifying the IKEA LED strip to operate at 12V. This involves: 1. Drilling a hole in the plastic nose to access the PCB. 2. Removing the paint to expose the copper strips. 3. Soldering resistors to reduce voltage. 4. Gluing the PCB back into the plastic cover. **Assembling the Motorized Frame** The project requires assembling the motorized frame using the worm geared motor, ball bearings, and other components. **Programming the Motion Controller** The project involves programming an Arduino-based motion controller that can operate in master or slave mode. **Note**: The project description warns about the potential risks of hacking electronics, especially if you're not familiar with electronics. It's recommended to use caution and seek help if needed. Overall, this project requires some DIY skills, electronics knowledge, and patience. If you're up for the challenge, it can be a fun and rewarding project!
