Shiny Coaster!

Shiny coaster

Have you ever seen a coaster glow? Luminous coaster LED coaster lights can help decorate high cup, Colin cup, or high cup. This is a design of a coaster that glows, which color matches the season and the color of some drinks or helps decorate the drinks. For example, Margarita is a famous summer bartender, you can change the color of the coaster into green with matches with the color of the bartending. You can also change it into blue, with matches with the season summer, and makes the bartending look refreshing and chill. Which is a good design for bartenders or people selling drinks.

The code for this shiny coaster is for a bartender called, "rainbow bomb!" Which helps highlight this type of drink in the bar. You can also use this rainbow light coaster for other use depends on you.

I used the following link as a reference: https://www.instructables.com/Arduino-Night-Lamp-1/

In this project, I changed...

- the color of the RGB led ring (LEDs)

- the brightness of the RGB led ring (LEDs)

Supplies

For wiring:

- jumper wires 3-6

- Arduino nano

- USB

- RGB led ring (Adafruit 24 RGB LED Neopixel Ring)

- Solder machine

- Solder material

For the coaster

- Clear transparent sheet

- Cork Coaster

Solder and Wiring:

Solder the jumper wires with the LED ring.

Solder each DI, 5V, and GND with a jumper.

Then connect the jumper wires to the Arduino breadboard.

- DI jumper should connect with D6 on the Arduino Nano

- GND jumper should connect with GND on the Arduino Nano

- 5V jumper should connect with 5V on the Arduino Nano

Prepare a clear transparent sheet, cork Coaster, and a scissor of a knife

cut the cork coaster into the shape above, which needs to fit the LED ring, and strike them together.

Then cut the clear transparent sheet into the same size as the LED ring, and use tape to strike it on the LED ring.

Coding

upload the code to your Arduino

https://create.arduino.cc/editor/zoetseng/95dfc629-43ed-4c09-90f6-0068b6420e96/preview (go to this link and copy the codes.)

Required Library:

Adafruit NewPixel

The following link will teach you how to add a library > https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Add-an-Exter...

Testing

testing the LED ring

After finishing this project, you can change the code to your likings, for example, change the light, colors, or patterns.

Finish!!!

Shiny coaster

soooo pwetty!!!
