PMW Mushroom Display

Description

<H1>Details</H1> Using A Arduino Nano I Created This Small Led Mushroom Display That Has A Glowing Effect. Print The Caps And Stems Varying The Scale To Get The Different Sizes. Stems Can Be Printed Without Top Or Bottom Layers With 2 Perimeters. Caps Can Be Printed With 1-2 Bottom Layers With Any Type Of Infill, Just Keep The Number Low, This Can Make The Light Shine In Different Patterns. I Used A Brim For The Stems And Kept It On The Print For Easier Placing. This Will Be Covered Up With Moss Later. After Printing Punch A Hole In The Bottom Layer Of Caps For Led Insertion. Follow The Wiring Diagram And Use The Arduino Code Provided In The Downloads, Remember To Adjust The Values For The Ldr. <A Href="Https://Circuits.Io/Circuits/4631163-Led-Mushrooms"> Here</A> I Have Linked My Autodesk Circuits Io Build Page In Case You Would Like To Turn It Into A Pcb. <P>Any Sheet Moss Will Do For This, Here Is An<A Href="Https://Www.Amazon.Com/Dp/B00I6Akfi8/Ref=Wl_It_Dp_O_Pc_Ns_Ttl?_Encoding=Utf8&Colid=20Y2Pdu6H8A9D&Coliid=I1Gfufmff9Bruz&Psc=1"> Example </A>.</P> <P>Using Driftwood With Give Each Display A Different Look, I Bought Mine <A Href="Https://Www.Amazon.Com/Gp/Product/B001F9Cuy4/Ref=Oh_Aui_Detailpage_O00_S00?Ie=Utf8&Psc=1"> Here</A>.You Could Also Use Twigs And Branches You Find In Your Area! <P>Using A Planter Like <A Href="Https://Www.Amazon.Com/Clay-Orchid-Pot-Terra-Unglazed/Dp/B004O3Zgf8/Ref=Sr_1_17?S=Lawn-Garden&Ie=Utf8&Qid=1492001510&Sr=1-17&Keywords=Orchid+Pot"> This</A> Will Let You Have A Hole On The Bottom Of The Planter For Wiring Access.</P> As Far A Protoboard, You Can Use Anything You Have On Hand And Cut To Size. <H1>Assembly</H1> You Can See How I Ran My Wires For Guidance.
