Description

This is my first try in making Toys. I am building a baby mobile with LED&apos;s which are controlled by an Arduino and an old Apple Remote. 

I vectorized some nice drawings, i found with google. Then i laser cut the drawings in plywood and acrylic. Three layers for each figure/drawing. Afterwards i glued the parts together and i glued a 3mm LED in the middle plywood layer.

I am planing to use an Arduino (mini) and an old Apple remote to control the mobile. The remote can be used for dimming and switching on all or single LED&apos;s of the mobiles. 

Hopefully i can finish the whole thing until next week.

Components

1 × Plywood some pieces
1 × LED one for each figure
1 × wires
1 × Small power supply or Battery
1 × Arduino (mini/nano) whatever
