170417 Arduino Xmas Tree

A 3D Christmass tree for Arduino Uno

For lighting up the dark Christmas days. I designed this Christmas tree.

The code for the Christmas tree can be downloaded here. The tree can of course also be programmed yourself.

Soon, A manual is available for building the tree.

Leider sind die Bezeichnungen im Schaltplan zum großen Teil nicht lesbar, gibt es ein besseres Exemplar?

Oh... Just noted Luc had already posted the GERBER files... Fine! If the kit is not longer available, I'll have the PCB manufactured somewhere. Thanks! Regards

Hi, where could I buy the kit? I have one and all my colleagues envy me for that... I'd like to get one for some of them too. If not, would it be possible to have the GERBER files? Thanks a lot ...and happy new year! Alberto

Would it be possible to order the PCB only or the kit without the Arduino Uno and powersupply?

No, sorry, we are not going to split kits in sub kits. But look at it in another way: thanks to this complete kit your other Arduino projects can advance without interruption.

Circuit Diagram would be useful as green LEDs 6 and 7 did not flash when powered up but all others were OK. Could not easily work out why but after testing replacing LED6 caused both to start working. I expected to have to replace LED 7 as well - so assume they are in series.

My impression is that only LED33 is doing a recognizeable fire effect as described in the sketch.
Can anybody post a short video sequence of blinking using the standard sketch to compare?

Same for me, D33 is lighting somewhat different than the other leds.

Edit:
Most leds are between an output pin and gnd, other leds are between two output pins. Some output pins are pwm pins, causing leds to light more fluently instead of just on and off. D33 is the only led between two (!) pwm pins. This might be the reason that D33 lights differently than all other leds.

I have made an all-round blink/fire effect. It can be adapted to your own taste by adjusting a few simple parameters.
Like the delay time and analog output of the LEDs.
