Arduino Jukebox - Ice Cream Theme

This is a video of me doing a teardown of my Ice Cream Jukebox, which was a project originally posted by Dave over at littleBits.  I don't have access to a laser cutter, so I used these items from my recycling bin: ice cream box, a VHS tape for the "card reader", cereal box, tape, and a speaker from broken headphones that my mom had asked me to fix.  For the different transparencies, I used a milk jug, foil lined tea bag envelope, a cut up and taped down VHS tape, and maybe I'll use a juice pouch for another transparency.

Since I used an ice cream box as the container, I thought it would be fun to use ice cream themed songs.  The songs are "It's A Small World", "The Entertainer", "Mr. Softee", and "You Are My Sunshine".  The code uses the pitches.h arduino library.

X-Ray Machine

Don't worry, it's not actually radiation!  This is how we made an X-Ray machine with littleBits!




This is the basic littleBits circuit:
power + roller switch + branch + timeout + buzzer + inverter + bargraph + led

When you press the roller switch, the timeout starts to sound the buzzer (making X-Ray machine sounds).  Quickly turn off the lights! Next the timeout turns off the buzzer, the inverter turns on the bargraph and led behind the two images.  The skeleton hand mysteriously shines through Greg's hand.  Pretty, neat, eh?

So that you can try it too, I've included the pictures of Greg's hand and the skeleton hand.
