Ana’s Sims Halloween!

For Halloween this year I will be going as Angela Pleasant of the Pleasant twins of the Pleasant Family of the Sims Universe 🙂 Sophia Haase will be teaming up with me as my twin sister, Lilith Pleasant! So far, we have purchased our outer material for the Plumbob and headbands for our structure. I already just so happened to have some red wigs, so we will just be using those (unfortunately, I don’t have those links!) I’ll be dressing more dark, and Sophia will be dressing

lighter to match the characters’ vibes.

The goal is just to have fun and be a cute lil Sim for realsies! I honestly have always wanted to do a joint or group costume but my friends never loved me enough (jkjk) but I’m so happy Sophia was also into this idea.

In terms of Arduino, I’d like to create a button that changes colors with each press (1 click –> green, 2 clicks –> red, 3 clicks –> yellow/orange or pink). I believe you mentioned a trick for obtaining this with a certain code with Arduino but I forgot to write it down so I will be writing that information tomorrow hopefully 🙂

Circuit Diagram:

To Do:

• Take more concept photos
• Finalize our outfits
• Try on wigs to ensure they’ll work (especially with headbands)
• Craft Plumbob and attach to headband
• Code Arduino
• Put LED into Plumbob and have a blast on Oct 31!!

UPDATE:

Let’s revisit that to do list:

• Take more concept photos
• Finalize our outfits
• Try on wigs to ensure they’ll work (especially with headbands)
• Craft Plumbob (this is done but will be finalized after LED and Code are final)
• Attach to headband
• Code Arduino
• Put LED into Plumbob
• Have a blast on Oct 31!!

So just a bit more to finalize! Overall, not much has changed since last time. I already had the wigs and the rest of the supplies were all we ended up using.

So far we have been able to attach the Plumbob to the wire and the wire to the headband.

We also have been able to solder 2 Neopixel LED strips to our Gemma M0 board. Sophia has had luck and unfortunately, I have not. I am not able to get my board working but we will be sorting out all the final issues tomorrow during class.
