Tony Dark
Sparking from my love for the MCU character and the need for guidance amidst the dark mornings when my roommate is still asleep, I bring to you my own Iron Man nightlight, Tony Dark.
I first produced a Foamcore model of what would be my nightlight to prevent wasting expensive materials
The tools I used to produce this light were NeoPixels, which act as the primary light source; a 2-D laser cutter, which allowed me to etch my logo, and acrylic material, which was the surface I etched onto and made the casing for the NeoPixels.
The reasoning for me wanting to create this, again, is due to me wanting to be courteous of my roommate and his sleep. I'm an athlete and my sport requires that I wake up in the early morning hours, so this light will also provide motivation, due to Iron Man's incredible feats and attitude.
In the morning when I wake, I go over and activate the power bank that is plugged into the NeoPixels, which illuminates the logo, providing a significant, yet dim light to help me get around while my roommate is dozing.
Creating this nightlight meant a lot to me, not only because I was constructing it for myself, but also for my roommate. I try my best not to disrupt him in the morning, and this will help me better accomplish this.
I followed the goals of attaching the breadboards and battery to the wall, but needed to back the acrylic structure up to the wall to prevent falling over.
