Building the Genius bar sign

Once we finished using the CNC to cut out our sign we needed to do this steps:1)Remove the material from the CNC surface

2)Use the jigsaw to cut all of the tabs so the pieces could be separated

3)Sand the edges of all of the pieces to remove the extra parts of the tabs and make the edges smooth

4)Use the table saw and miter saw to make the inside supports so that we can easily assemble our sign. You can see the supports that we cut here to the left.

5)We glued down the supports using wood glue to the back and sides),then we clamped everything down together. We then nailed everything together using a finish nail gun.

6)After letting it dry and removing the clamps we took our sign after letting it dry and spray painted it green outside

Building the NEO pixel Circut

7) We used our Neo pixel according to this circuit diagram

Here is the code that made our Neo pixel yellow

// Released under the GPLv3 license to match the rest of the

// Adafruit NeoPixel library

#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>

#ifdef __AVR__

#include <avr/power.h> // Required for 16 MHz Adafruit Trinket

#endif

// Which pin on the Arduino is connected to the NeoPixels?

#define PIN 6 // On Trinket or Gemma, suggest changing this to 1

// How many NeoPixels are attached to the Arduino?

#define NUMPIXELS 20 // Popular NeoPixel ring size

// When setting up the NeoPixel library, we tell it how many pixels,

// and which pin to use to send signals. Note that for older NeoPixel

// strips you might need to change the third parameter -- see the

// strandtest example for more information on possible values.

Adafruit_NeoPixel pixels(NUMPIXELS, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);

#define DELAYVAL 500 // Time (in milliseconds) to pause between pixels

void setup() {

// These lines are specifically to support the Adafruit Trinket 5V 16 MHz.

// Any other board, you can remove this part (but no harm leaving it):

#if defined(__AVR_ATtiny85__) && (F_CPU == 16000000)

clock_prescale_set(clock_div_1);

#endif

// END of Trinket-specific code.

pixels.begin(); // INITIALIZE NeoPixel strip object (REQUIRED)

}

void loop() {

pixels.clear(); // Set all pixel colors to 'off'

// The first NeoPixel in a strand is #0, second is 1, all the way up

// to the count of pixels minus one.

for(int i=0; i<NUMPIXELS; i++) { // For each pixel...

// pixels.Color() takes RGB values, from 0,0,0 up to 255,255,255

// Here we're using a moderately bright green color:

pixels.setPixelColor(i, pixels.Color(0, 150, 0));

pixels.show(); // Send the updated pixel colors to the hardware.

delay(DELAYVAL); // Pause before next pass through loop

}

Installing the lights

8)Now that we have our neo pixel

Building the genius bar sign pt.2

1)we spray painted the inside black

2)We wired the Diagram updates for the second lights on tinker cad

3) We Took the sign to the Genius bar to hold it up to see what it would look like

Final acrylic box

I am now finished with my acrylic box and it as been a long process from first creating the design on Inkscape and making the Christmas tree design. Second coding the Arduino from the computer on tinker cad learning about different wires and how they work. Using the knowledge we learned as a class and coding the Arduino in real life.
