First off I’d like to tip my hat to Makerbot for coming up with such an amazing original. We’re talking some mad design skills here.
That said when I first saw this I felt it was not quite done yet. It is a lantern with no light. I knew it could be improved upon. With clear plastics on the market, certain models are just begging for LEDs. This was no exception. In fact it screamed for more than just a few simple LEDs to make it glow. It needed to be able to come alive!
It was finally time to teach myself the basics of C and really utilize the Arduinos I’d been ordering just in case I had a project for them. What I came up with was set up with 2 RGB LEDs behind the eyes and an Arduino sketch that pulses with varying combinations of 6 colors for 130 preset options! True red and green come up with a color just a little off from straight green so I might have been stretching on the colors, but it’s a sick green and I like it!
