Solar System Christmas lights with lithophane planets
Description
These are lithphane planets which can be used as Christmas baubles or as an ornament elsewhere. Big thanks to raTMole who produced the lithophanes of the planets. These have been modelled with a threaded openning at one end which can screw into either a hook or inline mount. These mounts are designed to attach a high power adafruit 3W neopixel to the bauble to illuminate it internally. https://www.adafruit.com/product/4544 The star has space for a strip of flexible neopixels internally so can be lit up too. There is space in the star for either a pi zero or microcontroller of similar size. This saves housing the driver at the plug end. Code for a PI can be found here: https://github.com/No-George/PlanetBaubles Note: The code animates between the colours on the planet surface and flashes if the planets are overhead at night. In the day the star is sunlike, at night it has more of a rave aesthetic.
