Story

The top of the Heart Lamp was modeled in Rhino and 3d printed on a makerbot printer. I have the stl file attached below. The base is made out of plywood with a hollow body so that the arduino nano, led's and other components are able to fit seamlessly.

Code

Code for DIY LED Heart

int button7 = 8;
int led2 = 2;
int led3 = 3;
int led4 = 4;
int led5 = 5;
int status = false;

void setup(){
pinMode(led2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(led3, OUTPUT);
pinMode(led4, OUTPUT);
pinMode(led5, OUTPUT);

pinMode(button7, INPUT_PULLUP); 
}

void loop(){

  if (digitalRead(button7) == true) {
    status = !status;
    digitalWrite(led2, status);
    digitalWrite(led3, status);
    digitalWrite(led4, status);
    digitalWrite(led5, status);



    } while(digitalRead(button7) == true);


    
delay(50);
