Hello,

my xmas gift this year, a 10x10cm pcb xmas tree

2D xmas tree animation

all the components are inside the pcb, the overall height is only 1.6mm

Castellation is used to make the connections:

CastellationCastellation with pcb

The pcb itself is using pcb art technique to give the shape of a tree covered in snow and some snowflakes and ball ornaments.

To help making the programm for the ATtiny a helper website is made to make the led addressing easier:

All files including the KiCad project is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/designer2k2/2d-xmas-tree

 

And to help with assembly a video: (in german, with english captions, turn them on)
