Holiday's are really fun when we decorate our place with lights and stars. LEDs are mostly used for this purpose. I have made a DIY video series for a decorative, fun LED Ferris Wheel. Try one for this Christmas!
Required Materials [with links to buy]:
- Metal Mechanix 5
- Jackly Screw Driver set
- DC Motor
- Jumper wires
- LED
- Drill Chuck
- Wire connector
- Arduino Uno/ Mega
- 9V Battery, battery connector and USB Cable (for Arduino)
- Scissors, double-sided tape and insulation tape
This will also be my submission for Cool LED Display
Code [Arduino]:

int ledOuter = 12;
int ledOuter1 = 8;
int ledInner = 13;
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
pinMode(ledOuter, OUTPUT);
pinMode(ledOuter1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(ledInner, OUTPUT);
pinMode(A1, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
digitalWrite(ledOuter, HIGH);
digitalWrite(ledInner, HIGH);
digitalWrite(ledOuter1, LOW);
delay(10);
analogWrite(A1, 255);
delay(10);
digitalWrite(ledOuter, LOW);
digitalWrite(ledInner, LOW);
digitalWrite(ledOuter1, HIGH);
delay(10);
analogWrite(A1, 100);
delay(10);
}
