Glowing Heart - Arduino project for an anniversary

For an 50th anniversary I attached a strip of 50 Neopixels to a wooden heart. An Arduino Nano controls ten different animations, which can be toggled through with a push button.
A very easy and nice looking project.

Great vid! If you want a recommendation for future vids HMU. I built a line tracking car and a Tesla coil on my channel. I would love to see others make one!

Did you know: The 6-pin programming adapter near the LEDs on the Nano is ideal to misuse for driving NeoPixels (you don't need the proto-board) --> This has Vcc/PortPin/Gnd in the perfect sequence for neopixels :)

I should try that!

Dude, your content is sick. I'm over here procrastinating by figuring out the logistics for this mock invention I have to make a logo for in my Journalism class, and I have to say I'm captivated by how patient you explain the techy stuff. I came from a video where you tested out laser distance detection, and now I'm just watching you make a really wholesome light-up heart.
Actually, I want to become a STEM major in the future, or do something with the sciences. I'm not the best or most experienced with science, but I know that what you're doing is really fascinating to me. I want to learn how to do this cool stuff beyond just learning theory for tests.
So glad I came across your videos!

What are these plastic boxes called?

Great video!
