11 posted to Documents by cstanton on 3/3/2023 1:42:21 PM<br /> <p>Looking for a fun, low-intensity electronics project for yourself or to share with loved ones? Look no further than Lamptopus! Lamptopus brings light and motion to an articulated 3D printed housing, complete with a top hat. Based around an Arduino Uno and other common hobby electronics components, Lamptopus is sure to bring a smile to those around you and a sparkle to any dark corners in your workbench.</p> <h3

7 posted to Documents by cstanton on 3/3/2023 1:12:57 PM<br /> <p>Looking for a fun, low-intensity electronics project for yourself or to share with loved ones? Look no further than Lamptopus! Lamptopus brings light and motion to an articulated 3D printed housing, complete with a top hat. Based around an Arduino Uno and other common hobby electronics components, Lamptopus is sure to bring a smile to those around you and a sparkle to any dark corners in your workbench.</p> <h3
