How to Make Electric Origami
DIY May 28th, 2008
What is origami?
Origami is an art form that has a certain essence. It is beautiful, created by hand, and many times involves great detail within its making and presentation. To keep up with the times, you can now mix technology and origami together by adding electric lighting to it.
By the combination of LED and a little further involvement of the project, a neat lit box is provided which may be hung as a decoration, left to dazzle guests, or simply a way to prove to yourself you can both create Origami work and add some tech to.

Circuit Board Propeller Clock
DIY, Electronics May 11th, 2008
This clock creation is made of only a circuit board, a small motor and LED’s.
How it Works?
A motor spins the “propeller”, and a small microprocessor keeps track of time and changes the pattern on seven LEDs with exact timing to simulate a 7 by 30 array of LEDs. It is an illusion, but it works nicely.
If you want to build this clock, you will need a few things, including:
- Skill with motors and mechanical things.
- Prior electronic experience.
- A dead VCR or floppy drive or other source of a suitable motor and miscellaneous parts.
- A programmer that will program a PIC16C84 or 16F84 microprocessor.
