For my final project I want to expand on my first project. Although the idea of working with fidgets worked well, it wasn’t the best idea for it. I want to improve this project and actually make it so you can use the cup while working with the LEDs and power. In order to do so, I will need to cups, a small one and a large one. On the bottom of the large one is where I will keep my bread boards, battery, sensors etc. Having the small cup in there will allow me to put water in the project with out any damage. I will also need to caps for the coffee and i will seal the caps so the water doesn’t get in the wire. The LEDs will change color if I twist the cap to the right or to the left. Allowing me to get creative with the project and helping me expand on this. In order to make this project successful I will also need some conductive wire and a couple codes from the Arduino to make the LEDs switch colors.
There will also be a trim pot between the two caps to make it change colors in between the movements.
EQUIPMENT;
-small coffee cup
-large coffee cup
-2 caps for the cups
-5vlt battery
-wire
-conductive wire
-bread board
-multiple LEDs
-sensor
-trim pot
Budget, $30-$40.
Also what kind of sensor would I need in order to switch the colors?
