This is a machine that can have a Christmas show at night time when there's no light. Different kinds of setups for the LED can give you different kinds of feeling about Christmas.

Using the color of white, blue, and orange to show the scene of a snowing cold Christmas night there is still people's homes have still turned up their lights at home waiting for Santa's coming.

Here are things you need for making Christmas LED:

LED light -

orange X3

blue X3

white X3

Short wires X18

Medium wires X1

Breadboard X1

Arduino Leonardo

USB line X1

Styrofoam board X2 (19cm X 12cm)

Black pen X1

Creating the Electric Circuit

You need to plug all the LED lights in the same horizontal straight line. Leave space for a later step and plug the short wire connects to the positive electrode for the short side of the LED line. The long side of the LED line will be using another short wire to connect with the digital on the Arduino Leonardo. At the last plug, the medium wire connects with the GND on Arduino Leonardo and the positive electrode that the short wire connects with earlier.

Like what the picture show on the top looks like.

Pack the LED Inside the Christmas Scene

Use the black marker to draw the Christmas scene on the styrofoam board. Put another styrofoam board in the middle of the LED light and wire (like the right bottom picture) then you finish packing your Christmas LED scene.

There should be five kinds of setups for the LED light sing the code below.
