Interactive Jewelry Box

This is a jewelry box, made with laser cut baltic birch wood, with a moving dancer, lights (option with no lights for photo-sensitive viewers), music, controlled by a circuit playground bluefruit.

Made by Danielle O'Connor

• Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip- 30 LED- 0.5 meters
• Adafruit TowerPro SG92R Micro Servo
• Alligator clips
• Baltic birch wood (⅛ in) (optional)
• Circuit Playground Bluefruit
• Glue
• Laser cutter and plans (optional)
• Paint and brushes (optional)
• Tape

You can use any box that you would like. For this project, I laser cut a box using MakerCase, glued it together, and painted it.

The link to the plans I used: click here

Attach servo and LED light strip to the CPB. Glue the servo to the lid of the box. Tape the LED light strip into a circle that wraps around the bottom of the box.

Then attach your dancer to the top of the servo. I cut a white fabric, placed it over the servo to hide it, and added glitter.

I added two dancers on the side of the box to trigger the dancing but you can use alligator clips + your own object.

I attached the code I used to power my jewelry box below. Feel free to use and adjust as you see fit! 

Here is the demonstration video. The dancer on the left shows the dancer with lights and the dancer on the right shows the version for photo-sensitive viewers.

Enjoy!
