Story
A delightful oddity turned into a Discord fuelled spreader of gloom!
Hardware
There are two main components making up our project: a Raspberry Pi to provide computing power, and a NeoPixel Ring to shine bright.
To avoid messy wires appearing, you can also add a power source, in this case the LiFePO4wered/Pi+.
That's all, wire it all up, and take a well deserved break!
Discord Bot & Code
After setting up the Raspberry Pi, we can jump right into the code.
Creating a Discord bot by following these quicksteps is a great start. After which, we write the code controlling both the NeoPixel ring and interacting with Discord. The full code is included in this very article, happy copy pasting!
Construction
Last but not least, elegantly duct tape all your hardware in place.
*This experience may vary depending on your chosen oddity.
Result!
Turn on the Raspberry Pi, run the python script, mount the mask on a wall, and now you can enjoy a warm glow whenever your Discord bot is mentioned!
