Simple useless box made with Arduino, one servo motor and CJMCU-2812-24 LED driver board to show the current "mood" of the box.
1 / 4 • Inside the box
The dimensions of the box are 29x15.5x1.6 cm. It has 2 semi-see trough plastics with hinges connecting them to the box. Inside is a servo motor with 3D printed hand and casing that is glued to the walls. Unfortunately I don't have the 3D printer files for the hand and casing, they were not done by me. LED driver board is also used to display the "mood" of the box. The whole thing is powered by an external power source, do not power the servo and led driver trough the 5V pin of the Arduino, it will draw too much current.
Libraries used:
Arduino code V2
C/C++Sequential animations, resets after 10 seconds of inactivity. Made mainly for faires. Light flicker fixed.

C/C++"The brain of the box". The control() function is somewhat bugy, that's something i'm not interested in fixing any time soon. If you have any ideas for this, i'm happy to hear them.
