Cheapduino Wearable Nightlight
THIS WORKSHOP HAS NOT BEEN RUN SINCE 2017, IS AVAILABLE FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES ONLY. ANYONE SEEKING TO ADAPT THIS WORKSHOP SHOULD CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION.
WARNING - This workshop makes use of small coin cell/ button batteries.
In December 2020, the Australian Government made mandatory safety and information standards for button/coin batteries and consumer goods that contain button/coin batteries (the standards). The standards included an 18 month transition period and became mandatory from 22 June 2022. From 22 June 2022 manufacturers, importers, wholesalers and retailers of button/coin batteries or consumer goods that contain button/coin batteries supplied to Australia, must comply with the applicable Australian mandatory safety and information standards. Supplying or selling non-compliant products to consumers in Australia is illegal. The four mandatory standards are as follows:
• Consumer Goods (Products Containing Button/Coin Batteries) Safety Standard
• Consumer Goods (Products Containing Button/Coin Batteries) Information Standard
• Consumer Goods (Button/Coin Batteries) Safety Standard
• Consumer Goods (Button/Coin Batteries) Information Standard
Developed by Daniel Flood 2017.
Summary
Workshop has been designed for the BrisMakerFest 2017 for delivery as a part of the program., to cover off on out wearables commitment. The unit price is cheap and based on older work and other people basic ideas. It might be easily modified to take other sensors and do other things but for the moment we're keeping it simple.
It was inspired by this project in Make Magazine that did it with a full sized Arduino.
Activity Summary
Participants will assemble and get to know how to code a wearable nightlight comprising of a Cheapduino, Light Dependent Resistor (LDR), LED and some resistors. There's a battery at the moment but once we get a super-capacitor battery in place we will swap it out. Odds are we will use some magnets to get them to pin to people's shirts.
