Circuit Sculpture Lamp is a colorful cube companion
Circuit sculpture is engineering and art all at play together. You have to combine functionality with aesthetics. [EdwardA61] did just that with this enchanting lamp construction.
Like many other circuit sculptures, the construction relies on the aesthetic qualities of brass, although [EdwardA61] note that copper wire can also be used. Four WS2812B LEDs, in their bare PCB mount form, are soldered into a circuit using brass to carry power and data signals as needed.
A Seeduino Xiao microcontroller is responsible for controlling the show, although it relies on a typical PCB rather than a circuit sculpture per se. It does, however, allow for easy powering and programming, with the advantage of its USB-C connector.
It’s a simple skeleton, like so many circuit sculptures are, but it’s a shape we love and appreciate. [EdwardA61] also did a great job photographing the build, showing how the colors of each LED interact with each other when projected onto the table.
It is a lamp that we would like to build ourselves, and we hope that [EdwardA61] also follows through on plans to cast a similar design in transparent resin. If you’ve built your own artistically electric sculptures, be sure to let us know!
