It is here…

After a year of hard work and dedication, we are pleased to announce the launch of our first book and brand new website! Under the magical is finally here!

We are very proud of the result, excited about the future and so grateful for the opportunity to make a difference.

We are deeply passionate about creativity and arts, but can’t ignore the fact that millions of children face the least stable living and learning circumstances every day. That’s why we have decided that every time you purchase at Under the Magical Sky, we will donate to those in need.

Now, we invite you all to visit our site: https://underthemagicalsky.com/

Under The Magical Sky. By Valeria Bressan and Tauno Erik

Electronic "paper crane" or orizuru

Posted on Posted in Learn and makeTagged , , , , , , , , 3 Comments

I had a bunch of smd LEDs and no idea what to do with them. But then, when I had watched all these events in Hong Kong. And when I had seen how they make this paper cranes I decided to make my own version.

It use ATtiny13 AVR microcontroller and software PWM to slowly fade wings on and off.

First i made paper crane and the rest is copy-paste basic forms. The basic shapes are actually simple and flat. The most difficult part is soldering SMD components.

All electronics and batterys (4 x AA) are in the bottom wooden box.

I used Arduino IDE to program ATtiny13.
