About the project

This is project: Ivy. A wall ornament I designed, 3d-printed, programmed and made the custom circuitry for. Based on nano leaf tech. Very happy with the result.

Story

This project is my answer to the nanoleaf wall ornaments/lights you see from time to time.
I'm very happy with the outcome, the light gives life to a room and makes and excellent talking point with guests, it's also very relaxing to watch.

I liked the nano leaf hardware, but I thought it would be a good challenge to make a version of my own. So I designed and 3d printed the shape I wanted to make the "leaves", then programmed leds to light it from the inside.

below I have included an image of the circuitry that runs everything with a standalone atmega328p.
