KH 383: Fancy Funko Pop! - Funko Pop! LED stands with Arduino.

Do you like Funko Pop! figurines? Do you have a Funko Pop! collection? Or are you co-hosts with somebody with a serious Funko Pop! addiction?

If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, then today's "Know How" is for you! With an Arduino, a ring of WS2812 LEDs, and a few 3D-printed parts, we're going to create a disco stand to make your Funko... FUNKY!

Also... there's a 50/50 chance that we burn ourselves.

Project Summary: Using an Arduino nano and a WS2812 16-LED Ring, we're going to create a universal stand for "FunkoPop" models. The finished project will have two controls for LED brightness and Animation patterns and will can be reprogrammed without dissasembling the unit. Parts List: 1. ATmega238P Nano $4.00 2. 16-LED WS2812 Ring $10.00 3. Momentary 6x6x12 Momentary Tactile SMD Switch $2.00 4. Silicon Wire $3.00 5. M3 Carbon Steel Bolts $13.00 6. 20mm x 5mm Neodynium Magnet $5.00 7. 2 x 10k Resistors $7.00 $44.00 But the REAL price (if you're willing to buy in bulk) is closer to $6 3D Parts List 1. FPv4_Base 2.
