Fiery Fox – a flaming fox sculpture



My friend find a really neat night lamp in the shape of a low poly fox. It diffuses the light super good and makes a good base for some addressable LED’s.


I wanted an easy way of attaching the WS2812 LED strip inside the hollow sculpture and decided to laser cut out a base out of transparent acrylic. SVG cutting image can be found here: InnerStandForLEDStrip.svg


I place the LED strip on the edges of the acrylic base and soldered them in a continuous bus.


Then I soldered the bus to an Arduino Nano, and hooked up a Plejd light controller that gives out 1-10V that I read of the Arduino via resistor divider.

The program for the Arduino uses the WS2812FX library and reads the 1-10V input via an ADC: FieryFox at Github.
