Alien Paper Circuit with Neopixels & an ATtiny85

Chainable, surface mounted RGB LEDs work in paper circuits! 

After spending a couple of days prototyping, I've completed my first paper circuit using individually addressable neopixels, otherwise known as surface mounted RGB LEDs! Soldering them was trickier than I'd anticipated, however!  I'd originally planned to use three lights in this model, but a soldering mishap resulted in my using only two.  I love the way that the lights change colors at the press of a button!  (See video below).

e-Luminated Tunnel Book: Desert Roadrunner





This video above shows a tunnel book that I made, using an ATtiny85 microprocessor to control LEDs in the background.  I got the idea for this model from a blogger and artist named Becca Rose, who graciously shared her artistic process!  I used photocopies of several paste-paper collages that I made for my layers.

I am eager to explore this technology with other book forms, so stay tuned!
