Summary of DIY Electronic Birthday Blowout Candles
This article outlines a DIY project for creating electronic birthday blowout candles. It covers designing and building the circuit, soldering the components, programming the microcontroller, and powering the circuit with batteries. The project simulates the experience of blowing out birthday candles using electronic components, demonstrated with a virtual birthday party setup.
Parts used in the DIY Electronic Birthday Blowout Candles:
- Circuit board
- Electronic components for the circuit
- Soldering equipment
- Microcontroller (Micro)
- Programming interface/tools
- Batteries (4 x 1.2V AA/AAA or 3 x 1.5V AA/AAA)
- Candles (blowout type)
Step 1 The Circuit
Step 2 Building the Circuit board
Step 3 Soldering the Circuit board
Step 4 Programming the Micro
Step 5 Using the Candles
To power the circuit, you need 4 batteries of 1.2V, AA or AAA size or 3 batteries of 1.5V (AA or AAA size).
Using the blowout candles is easy. Of course you need a cake to be able to use the candles :).
We organized a fictitious birthday party with a virtual cake to celebrate the project and a video of that party and the birthday candles
