LightUpVase
This is an Arduino based project to control light colors and animations in a 3D printed vase and rose. I originally made it for my girlfriend as an anniversary gift, but I thought people might like to make their own. You can check out the introduction to the project here.
The project uses the Adafruit NeoPixel library and it was tested in an Arduino Uno board with an ATmega328P processor. It is compatible with the Adafruit ProTrinket 5v.
The vase is a remix of "Wave Vase" by didierkl, and the flower is a remix of "Make a rose for your girl" by hansliu.
A youtube playlist detailing the development process can be found here.
Operation:
Connect the power supply to the vase. (In this case using 5V, 2A)
Flip the slide switch to the "on" position. This will power the board and the NeoPixel Ring.
Click the pushbutton for less than 0.5s to flip through the vase's light animations.
Click the pushbutton for more than 0.5s to flip through the flower's light animations.
Note:
Do not leave lights turned off while the slide switch in the "on" position for an extended period of time. The board will still be powered during this time.
Supplies
1x Arduino ProTrinket 5v
1x Arduino RGB Neopixel Ring 16x
1x Arduino RGB Neopixel
1x 5.5mmx2.1mm female barrel jack power adapter
1x slide switch
1x 6mmx6mm push button
1x 1000μF capacitor
2x 510Ω resistor
3x battery contact plates (or a similar thin conductive metal)
1x 5v, 2A power supply with 5.5mmx2.1mm plug
~250g translucent PLA (I used Shaxon "natural" PLA)
22ga wire (green for the stem, the rest is up to you)
Cyanoacrylate glue and/or 5second Fix resin
