Underglow Sign Video
During my senior design project our advisor told us to develop a team logo to put on our PCBs. As a joke, one of our team members made a drawing of his face as the logo. At the end of the year, I spent an afternoon modeling, coding, wiring, and assemblying this underglow sign as a gift for our advisor. I put in a shock sensor to change the lighting mode. It can change between a disco mode, smooth color, a bunch of static colors and a Iowa State mode where the indivual addressable RGB strips are set to different ISU colors. I cut the drawing out of plexiglass with a laser cutter while working on pieces for our project. The code runs on a Arduino nano and the case was modeled in Autodesk Inventor. The video above steps through the different color options.
