Arc Reactor using Adafruit Neopixels + Rechargeable LiPo
Description
Hey There Everyone, I Figured I'D Upload This Arc Reactor I'Ve Been Working On For A While Now. I'Ve Printed It Off And It All Works, So I'M Happy To Share It Around. There Are Three Pieces - The Base (Largest), The Faceplate And The Inner... Bit, I Guess. This Arc Reactor Is Designed To Fit All The Components Needed To Get It Lit Up And Lookin' Pretty. An Adafruit Arduino Gemma Will Fit Right In The Very Middle. The Inner Ring On The Faceplate Is Designed To Match Up With An Adafruit 24 Neopixel Ring, And There'S One Slot Per Led, Allowing Them To Shine Through Clearly. There Are Two External Rectangular Holes On Opposite Sides Of The Base. I Designed Them One For A Micro-Usb Socket, The Other For An On-Off Slide Switch. I Ended Up Using A Small Sparkfun Micro-Usb Lipo Charger, And The Board Fits Into The Base Along With Everything Else. There'S Also A Circular Cut-Out On The Inside Of The Base To Fit An Inductive Coil - For Inductive Charging. I Haven'T Yet Tried This Out, But The Space Is There If Someone Wants To Give It A Go. I Have The Source Files Made In Solidworks I Can Upload - Let Me Know If Anyone'S Interested.
