DIY Color Changing Acrylic Nightlight using ATtiny85 Microcontroller and Arduino

In this video I create a color changing nightlight based on a famous symbol from one of my son’s favorite video games. Because space was tight, I decided to use an ATtiny microcontroller instead of an Arduino. These are very inexpensive and are a great way to shrinkify your Arduino projects. ATtiny come in multiple configurations (number of pins and amount of memory). One of the most popular is the ATtiny85 which only has 8 pins and is very small.
The light up display is made using ½ inch (12mm) thick acrylic sheet that is cut using a bandsaw and abraded using sandpaper.

You probably dont give a shit but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my gf during the lockdown xD

[@luiskade7316]

@Houston Brysen definitely, have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself :D

[@aronernesto423]

@Houston Brysen Definitely, I have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :D

[@georgerhys5434]

@Houston Brysen definitely, been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D

Hi. Can we supply an Attiny85 from an Arduino nano? For ex pin 6 high and grund?

[@ScienceFunInnovations]

You can power it with the Nano, but I would use the 5V pin instead of one of the outputs. The 5V pin can source more current than a digital output pin.
