Simple DIY Wooden Light Stick

About Simple DIY Wooden Light Stick Android App

Palo is a light stick which has magnets on the bottom to fix it on the desk, in the kitchen or elswhere. Tap on it and it lights on, tap again and it switches off. It is portable with a long battery life due to the great warm white LEDs and it charges wirelessly.

Step 1: Design

The frame is a 7 layers of 4 mm pin plywood (you can use whatever you want but this one gave a nice finish on the side with the laser cutter). You will find the DXF file bellow for laser cutting and CNC router. It has a large 3Ah lipo battery so you can use it several hours without charging it. When not using it, place it on a Wireless qi charging dock and it will charge. To switch it on or off, tap on the piezo sensor which is bellow the first plywood layer

Step 2: Assembly

As the assembly is a combination of solder and glue parts, I preferred to make some diagram that explain the whole thing.

It isn't complicated to assembly. If you're not sure how to do it, solder first, do some tests and then glue. You can arrange the electronics as you want. I tought my way is good but you could probably do better

Step 3: Upload the Code

Plug the arduino nano to your computer and upload the sketch bellow. I didn't do it yet but you could add a sleep mode the would reduce the consumption of palo when not using it.

Step 4: We Are Done!
