Hand Made LED Night Light!
Can you imagine having a beautiful and free night light in your room? You can change your color and your light shield all on your own, and with just a few easy steps, you can also make your own special night light!

Supplies
You will need:
Arduino Leonardo x1
Some wires
LED light bulbs x2
Breadboard x1
Resistors x2
A4 paper x1
A picture x1
Tape x1
Pair of scissors x1
Build Up Your Circuit Board!
The first step is to assemble your circuit board. It is very easy to do, just plug in the holes in the one I have put in. Is my picture too blurry? Look at the drawing in the next picture. You can choose to do the same as the left picture or the right picture since they are the two same things. REMEMBER to look at your positive and negative!! To not do the opposite way or your Arduino might break while you give it electricity!!!
Choose your LED light bulb color first! You can choose any color you like!
Code Your LED Light Bulbs!
It is also easy to code!
You can also make a replica of my work, but I will still teach you about the meaning of the lines I code.
In the beginning, we have to set up the two LED lights to 0, which means that there is no light at all.
Then, we repeat one of the LED its brightness 255 times, which means that the light will slowly begin from no light to the full bright light. The full bright light will stay for 50 milliseconds, then the second LED will turn on also for 30 milliseconds.
The two different color lights will blend and make a beautiful color. Then, the first LED light bulb will begin to fade away. Some milliseconds later, the other one will also fade away, and this step will continue to repeat again and again.

Begin to Decorate Your Night Light Shield!
A beautiful night light must have a shield to prevent the dazzling light. I made an\ easy light shield, and send the link at the bottom.

Begin to Use It!
Last, place your light shield on your LED light bulbs, and begin to have fun!
P.S. You might want to cut a hole on your light shield to place your paper firmly on the wires.
Have Fun!
