Xuan-LAZY LAMP

Is this situation ever freak you out that when you are ready to bed, after turning off the light, you cannot see anything. Has it ever happened to you that when you are chilling on your bed, somehow you are too sleepy to get up turn off the switch?

If so, let’s make a lazzzie lamp which can detective the motion( by a motion sensor) and volume(microphone) of your room. So if you are getting sleepy, and stopping moving or making any sound, the lamp will get dimmer till turn off.

Want to build your own one? Let’s go.(check the Instructable here)

Tools:

Wire strippers;
Soldering iron;
Lathe;
Laser cutter;
Table saw;
Blend saw;
(Or 600$ + 3D printing);

Materials:

Arduino Uno;
Motion sensor;
Microphone:
Breadboard:
Acrylic;
Breadboard wires;
Solder;
Dotstar LED stripper

Step 1: Soldering and Connecting Circuit

Step 2: Coding
