LaserBox is a blinky art thing involving lasers and fog, being designed and built as part of Tiny Galleries 2017.

Project Status

  • 2017-02-28: Submission accepted!
  • 2017-01-21: Started putting together electronics design.
  • 2016: Idea and 3D model mostly complete.

Overview

  • Box with 6x6 grids of lasers in two axes, and ultrasonic fog generation to make the lasers visible.
  • Gesture input to control the patterns

Components

  • Arduino Uno (or maybe Mega if required)
    • SparkFun MG2639 Cellular Shield for telemetry
    • SparkFun APDS-9960 board for gesture recognition
    • Proto Shield with connectors for:
      • Mux boards
      • Liquid sensor
      • Gesture sensor
      • Okay this is a lot of connectors, might make sense to get a board made for this
  • Liquid level sensor to monitor water level for fogger
  • 2x Mux Board
    • One for each axis, located on the plate with the lasers
