Animated Professor That Talks!

This is a piece of art that when interacted with displays a light animation and talks!

1/8 and 1/4 inch birch wood

Laser Cutter

Wires

Adabluefruit CPB

Speaker

Button

LED Light strip

Hot Glue

Cardboard

Battery pack

Tape

Sketch the image you want to engrave and format it in illustrator. Then push project to a laser cutter that will engrave it into 1/8th inch baltic birch.

Tape or glue the LEDs into the whole that were cut for them and wire them into the CPB

Glue the speaker down and wire it correctly to the CPB

Wire the button in and seat it properly into the face of the project

Measure and cut out a stand and attach it with hot glue and measure out a box to enclose eveything in. You can use cardboard or wood.

Code whichever animations and sounds you'd like.

Here is my code:
