Arduino Mother's Day LED Artwork

This artwork is for people who do not know what to give to their mother as a gift on international mother's day. It can be artwork with a carnation drawing, and "Happy Mother's Day" in the morning, and be a LED heart lamp decoration at night.

Prepare What You Need

Arduino Board (Leonardo/Uno) & a breadboard x1

LED red x9 white x1

Resistance x3

USB Adapter cable x1

Wire x 44

Computer x1

Cardboard 26.5cm x 42cm x1

Cardboard box 26.5cm x 10cm x 42cm x1

Connect Wires and LED on the Arduino Breadboard

1. Connect GND to positive with 1 wire.

2. Connect positive to j10, j15, j20, with 3 wires.

3. Connect g 10 to e10, g15 to e15, g20 to e20, with 3 resistances.

4. Connect pin D13 with a wire, to another wire, then to the negative side (long) of a LED. (picture 2)

5. Connect positive side (short) of a LED with a wire, to row 10, 15, or 20.

6. Repeat step 4 and 5 for D4~D12, total of 38 wires.

Done for connecting wires and LED on the Arduino breadboard!

Write Arduino Code

Explanation for my Arduino Code:

1. First part: pinMode( ? , OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output

meaning: Pin ? was connect to a LED.

2. Second part: void loop(){ // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
meaning: codes below will be on loop.

3. Third part: digitalWrite( ? , HIGH ); // sets the digital pin on/off

delay( 5000 ); // waits a few milliseconds

digitalWrite( ?? , HIGH ); // sets the digital pin on/off

meaning: LED that Pin ? connected to lights up (HIGH), and after 5 seconds (delay 5000), LED that Pin ?? connected to will lights up (HIGH).

4. Fourth Part: digitalWrite( 4 , LOW ); // sets the digital pin on/off

delay( 5000 ); // waits a few milliseconds

meaning: All the LEDs will turn off (LOW), and wait for 5 seconds (delay 5000), then start again from Third part (because of Second part, the code is on a loop)

Make the Case of the Arduino Breadboard (artwork)

1. Use the 26.5cm x 42cm cardboard and poke 10 holes, as a shape of heart.

2. Place each LED into the 10 holes.

3. Cover one side of the cardboard with sketch paper.

4. Draw a Carnation with water color, (pink, white and green), and write "Happy Mother's Day" on the sketch paper.

5. Poke a hole on the side of the cardboard box (26.5cm x 10cm x 42cm), for the USB cable to connect to electricity.

6. Cover the side of the cardboard box with sketch paper.

DONE WITH EVERYTHING!
