Arduino Powered Brain Machine
A brain machine that runs on an Arduino running a blink example sketch that has been modded so that it becomes a strobe.
It is basically an Arduino and LEDs that have been mounted on a pair of safety glasses. It runs a code that you can modify so that you get a strobe that is in front of your eyes. When you put them on, they help you see crazy patterns and things, and when you take them off, you feel wonderful (except for people that are sensitive to strobe lights).
Steps
Step #1: Solder up the LEDs
Next
- Put on the glasses. Mark where the center of your eye is on the glasses. Drill out the marks with a 3/16" drill bit. Cut out the graphics so that they fit on the glasses. Burn a hole in the center of the graphics. Push in the LEDs through the holes you just made. Solder two 5" wires to the LEDs. Solder the black to black and red to red. Solder two 1" wires in between the connections you just made. Hot-glue everything in place. Hot-glue the 9V battery on the right arm of the glasses.
