Magnetic Hall Sensor LED Strip Switch -- Light up your drawers!

Description

Light up your drawers! I wanted LED strips to come on when the kitchen drawers open and turn off when they close. I created a circuit with a Hall Effect magnetic sensor and a MOSFET transistor to control the LED strip. I then designed this enclosure to make it compact and easy to install in the drawer frame. Solder the components together first and then assemble, hot solder melts PLA. I plan to write an Instructable to detail my build process when I get time. I attached the switch to the drawer frame and glued a tiny rare earth magnet to the inside of the drawer front. You could use the peel and stick backing to hold up the LEDs but I used "LED Strip Mounting Brackets" https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3615992 for a nice clean looking mount.
