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
