Loading 3D model… large boards can take a moment.
This is a PCB lightsaber controlled by a gyroscope and accelerometer that I designed. I created it originally for The Trail, an event organized by Hack Club.
I initially designed the entire board with a ATmeag32U4 chip, and you can find the schematic and PCB design in the main branch. I also added some lighthouse-themed silkscreens as my original idea was to make it a desk lamp. I encountered a lot of problems along way and decided to use an Ardunio Nano instead. I used my PCB board as a base and connected the Ardunio Nano.
Dynamic LED Control: LEDs light up based on movement detected by the gyroscope and acceleromenter.
Here are some really cool long-exposure light photos I took with the lightsaber in action!
Special thanks to Thomas Stubblefield, Kevin Yang, and Isaac Davenport for helping and encouraging me on the way!
