Makerspace at the Fulton School
So, letucce get to the basics of it. This is my minecraft torch! For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s from a video game called Minecraft. I started by using the laser cutter to cut out the base of the torch (The brown part) and put the box together. Then I started on the top of torch by doing the same thing with the base, except this time I cut out windows in the sides. I mixed up some epoxy and used it to fill in the windows doing a different shade of yellow in each window pane. It ended up failing the first time so now the first attempt is kept in the makerspace. After my first attempt I tried it again and it worked! I put the pieces together and attached it to the base. After all of that I decided to make another flat base to go under all of that so then its stable. I then painted it green to look like grass. Now that the main part was done, it was time to get into the wiring and coding aspect of it.
I used the raspberry pie and soldered the wires and LED strip to it. I used a touch censor to signal the lights on and off. Now all I need to do it plug it in and code it. BOOMSHAKALAKA!
