NeoPixel Arcade Buttons

By Samidha Verma

LED rainbow buttons or LED Arcade Buttons are the most magnificent tutorial, you will ever come across. This project by Adafruit is based on the 30mm arcade buttons, which are outstanding for retrogame tasks. They’re also rather appealingly attractive. They highlight a luminous body with a very slim micro switch, so it’s notable for interior lighting effects.

Though they do not have LEDs built in, you can essentially install NeoPixels into the build with a 3D printed diffuser. In this lecture you’ll pick up how to affix NeoPixels to arcade buttons.

Before you begin this project, look into the succeeding guides underneath to get an improved understanding of the Trinket micro-controller, NeoPixels and the NeoPixel Arduino library.

Uber NeoPixel Guide

Introducing Trinket

Parts, Tool & Supplies for this project involves a 30mm arcade button and some NeoPixel mini’s (the 8mm x 10mm cuties), an arduino micro-controller and a power source. In case, you don’t have access to a 3D printer, you can send the files to a service or check with your local hackerspace/library. You will also need 5V Adafruit Trinket, Filament, Flat Pliers and some 3D Printed Parts.

The Design can be modified as the parts were modeled in Autodesk 123D Design and are obtainable to modify at Adafruit. The file embraces the original solids and sketches. The cap breaks onto the connector piece and they’re held together by friction. The tolerances for these fragments will differ contingent on your print settings, but you can download and amend the plan to fit in your project. Get complete details here.
