Turning a Barbie dreamhouse right into a screamhouse with the Arduino UNO R4

With its brilliant coloration scheme and customarily upbeat tone, the lately launched Barbie film evokes most of the identical emotions because the toy model. In line with this concept, Jaimie and Jay of the Depraved Makers YouTube channel determined to take it in the other way by remodeling a Barbie dollhouse right into a haunted mansion for Halloween — full with the entire requisite eerie results and lighting.

The duo began by disassembling the inside and repainting the structural elements, exterior partitions, and a number of other different movable objects such because the door and varied props. As soon as this had been accomplished, the subsequent step concerned discovering LED filament, many small, discrete LEDs, and a miniature fog machine for creating a further spookiness issue. The person LEDs have been positioned into SLA printed cranium lighting, custom-made clay candles, and within the beforehand pink chandelier the place they may then be managed by an Arduino UNO R4 WiFi. 

Past these results, a strand of LED filament was laid into the higher ground to supply a glowing ring for summoning spirits. Whereas a pair of iPads and a telephone have been positioned behind acrylic home windows on the second ground and on the ceiling to be able to play prime quality movies of ghosts and a portal opening up above the summoning ring.
