ok so here is my project. I built this for my partner for her rockhounding and jewelry crafting. We use it to detect different minerals in rocks, agates, gems, etc with the UV light and by adjusting the color of the WS2812B LED's we can bring out the color of different minerals to help identify them easier. It also makes jewelry look really cool. It's not the greatest looking code or design files for the box, feel free to remake the box or whatever.

Supplies

1x Arduino Uno

1x SH1106 128x64 1.3" OLED screen

4x 20k Potentiometer

1x momentary Push Button

1x 12V 1.5A DC power supply

1x 9V 2A step down buck

6x WS2812B LEDs

3x Bivar uv5tz-395-15 UV LED's

3x 75Ohm resistors

1x 220Ohm resistor

6x 100uf 16V Capacitor

3x Diodes

lots of wire

5x hot press in threaded inserts M3x5

5x M3 screws 6mm

HOT glue

Make sure you have all the required materials.

Build box and insert parts. Should be pretty self-explanatory where things go. The white knob is used for green since I didn't have green. Red on top, then blue, then green, then brightness, Then Push Button. I used the push button I had laying around; it is the same as any other momentary push button, feel free to use any push button you want and modify the case to fit the button used.

Enjoy. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
