Final Project ITLS 4270

I made a recipe holder that has a wood base with a slot opening to have a piece of an acrylic sheet that acts as a stand to hold up a recipe card or a phone that is holding a recipe. It also has an LED light strip in the slot that will light up the acrylic to show a design that is connected to the circuit playground and has a code to make different light formations.

• Wood
• Acrylic Sheet
• LED Light Strip
• Wire
• Circuit Playground
• Alligator Clips
• Cardboard(for prototype #2)
• Duck Tape(for prototype #2)

This is my original blueprint that I created of my project. I wanted a simple project that I knew I could do and that I would also do well.

This is the first prototype I made out of Playdoh. It is a very basic model of what I am wanting to make.

This is the cardboard prototype I created. I labeled the different pieces as what they will be once it is all put together.

This is the constructed project, I have a hole that I drilled into the side of it for my LED light strip to feed itself through to go under the acrylic. My next step is to create a design to laser cut onto the acrylic.

Here is where I will upload my code for my circuit playground.

This project can be customized in many different ways. Instead of using an acrylic sheet, you could use a sheet of metal. You can also put any design you want on the acrylic to make it more personalized.

I haven't really had anything go wrong yet on this project, but coding is somewhat difficult for me so I am sure I will run into some problems with that.
