UFO with lights, lasers and smoke effects

Back to overview

For Halloween, I built a UFO that's fully programmable. ~2000 LEDs; ducted fans for smoke; a laser lit ramp; realistic Alien crew.

Build summary

Step 1: commit to building a UFO for Halloween. My neighbourhood just loved it, and likely more than 1000 people stopped by to admire it. One offer to buy it :)
Step 2: use my notes:
and software ( https://github.com/ss023459/UFO/blob/main/main6.ino ) as much as you like, and ping me for help.

Step 3: Enjoy the build - Note - you will need decent power tools to cut and frame a lot of wood BTW - this is a pretty hefty woodworking effort, but its geometrically and structurally satisfying.
