Queue, the fun arduino based, led signified meeting facilitation object works by assigning an led to each person in the meeting and giving them each a set amount of time to present there idea. It would do this by utilizing the IFTTT chip in the board, connecting to a world timer and letting everyone know that there turn is up after an allotted amount of time, by flashing the LED. This will give even weight to everyone in the groups opinion, thereby providing a more neutral environment for sharing of ideas.

  • Print the file on an SLA printer, utilizing whichever resin you will think has the right opacity for the LED's. I used clear and sanded mine for a not so opaque finish but the leds can shine through white resin.
  • Follow the post processing guidelines and remove the supports using your hands and a pair of gloves.
  • Next, in an increasing scale of grit, sand the piece to a 300grit if using clear resin or perhaps just enough to remove any spiky bits of resin if using white.

Wiring

  • Using the basic button and neopixel configuration above, wire the neopixel ring to the Adafruit Huzzah and wire the two buttons with plenty of slack wire.
  • Run a basic program to make sure the buttons work and you are good to move to the next step.

Code

  • Using the code included below, run the program on the board to see if everything works. If this is the not the case and something doesn't seem to be working, check your soldering connections and the pin you entered for the neopixel and the buttons to be connected to.
  • Once this is all complete, you are good to attach the buttons and the neopixel to the shell and try it out.
