Introducing the Infinity Living Christmas Wreath. This was created by my kids Chrystal, Nicholas and myself. We wanted to create something for the season that would be unique. So here it is.

 

What we used to create the wreath:

 

Christmas wreath

144 RGB LED light string

Arduino

Raspberry Pi, Screen and speakers

2 pieces of one way mirror

12 volt transformer

 

The LED strip is placed between the one way mirrors. The Arduino is used to control the LED pattern with the transformer is used to power the LED's. We used the Raspberry Pi and screen to display the burning log in behind the mirror with speakers for the fire crackling sound.

We had a great day of creating and learning!!

 

Dale, Chrystal and Nicholas

    This unit could be repurposed for other holidays as well. I can see it as a Halloween window to another world. John

    Hi Dale, It was a great idea to use the one way mirrors to produce the depth effect. Very unique and well done. John
