Keyboard Instrument

The push-buttons are like keyboard instruments, they have different frequency notes when they are pressed. You can also press multiple buttons at the same time to get a new sound. The notes frequencies and the number of buttons can be varied.
Touch sensitive led light

When touching the tinfoil the led lights up, sensitivity can be changed in the code.
Mixing colors

Change colors of a led by using photoresistors and covering them with coloured plastic screens.
Changing Direction

Using a potentiometer for changing directions of a servo motor
Movement Sensitive Hourglass

Just like an hourglass, the leds light gradually, simulating the passing of time. When the time interval has finished, there is also a sound. The timer can be reset by movement - turning it over. Time interval can be changed, from seconds, minutes, to hours.
Light Sensitive Colors

When a bright source of light touches them, each led lights one by one, creating a vibrating effect, sensitive to the intensity and movement of light.
Colors Creating Rainbow

Different color leds light up gradually and create a reflection of a rainbow on a white backgrowd paper.
Colors fading light

When the light is set against a white background the colours give a surreal effect of light and shadows. The frequency of the colors can be varied, also the range of colors.
