No More Missed Calls from Your Honey

Brief

This is a love light made with WIO Link that when you missed your honey or someone special calls, It will automatically turn the light into red. And it will turn green again until you call back. What’s more you don’t need any programing.

About this device

My girlfriend and I are in two different cities, the phone is our only way of communication. But my job is too busy, and I always missed her calls. What’s worse is that I always forget to call her back! So I made this device to remind me whether I missed my girlfriend call and don’t forget to call her back.

Make a beautiful shell

I regard this love light device as a work of art, so I cut a beautiful wooden box. I guess you don't have a laser cutting at home, you can find some in the hacker space near from you easily. If there's no hacker space nearby, you can try the Laser Cutting Service supply by Seeed.

And then I cut a missed call icon using Acrylic sheet, just as picture below shows.

You can download the design drawings by click https://github.com/Lee-Kevin/6.Wio_Link_Demo/tree/master/LoveLight.

Use glue gun to fix the wooden box as shown below.
