Hello! I really like your project and I would like to do something different. So instead of using this dangerous red laser, I will use infrared emiters and receivers as they are invisible to the human eye. Would this be possible? Thanks!!

I would love to see that! Nice work

Hello, I am making the project and I have finished soldering almost all the leds but I want to try the self test to see if they light up. I know it is inside the arduino code but I can't really make it work. Can someone help me or could the author post only the test code, please? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply! I am going to try those solutions!

Hello I made it but when I power it up, the motors get very very hot and the rod also gets hot and it melts the thread guide made of plastic. What is the problem? and do you have any solution? Thanks. Great instructable!!!

Thanks! I used a very common one so it should not be difficult to find them. Just search for "CR2032 coin cell battery" and most of them will fit perfectly. As I said it is the most common size of battery so most sellers sell this kind. So any listing containing CR2032 on the tittle will do. I hope I helped you!

A good idea would be to sell this as a kit!

Thanks! The thing is that I use the planter indoors. That's why it worked. Each one has to adapt it to its needs. The cork is absolutely a good idea but in my case, as I used it indoors, I can control how much water the plant gets so it is harder for it to rot

A cork is a great idea. The thing is that we would have to cut a hole in the small container and glue the cork. Really easy improvement. However, I observed that the cement I used absorbs the water so there isn't excess water. I have had the same planter with a plant for over a year and it is alive and well!

Thanks! Indeed, there aren't any drain holes but they can be made carefully with a small drill. I also noticed that they aren't 100% necessary as the concrete absorbs part of the water, so yes the concrete prevents the rotting by absorbing the water. I have also had another prototype planter with a plant for over a year and is is still alive and well!

Hello! Don't worry!I knew you had a reason to put all the components in the top layer! It is also true that the oven method only allows to solder components on the top layer. I think it is time to buy a hot air gun! hahahaha. Using through-hole components is also a good idea but I personally like SMD components as they look a little bit more professional (at least for me), however, it doesn't affect the quality or the appearance of the board, which is amazing.Yes! That's a good idea, but maybe it will make the board look not as cool as it looks now. However, I came across an idea some people are using now which is to solder the SMD LEDs on the bottom layer but with the part that lights up towards the top layer. Then in the top layer, remove the copper to leave only the bare pcb so that li…

Then in the top layer, remove the copper to leave only the bare pcb so that light can pass through it and it words as a natural fogger. I don't know if my explanation is right and if you understand the concept haha. It would be worth the try because this way, the top layer would be clear and look like the real award and all the components would be on the bottom layer and it would look like magic!Again, all this is good feedback and personal opinions! Thanks for the Gerber files!!

Amazing instructable and amazing PCB work!!! If you mind, I would like to give you a few positive tips to make it look better! It is just a recommendation as the PCB is perfect and looks great as it is.First of all, I would move the corner LEDs a little bit to the center to make the effect that the shape of the LEDs when they light up matches the shape of the actual board. Now they look like a rectangle when the PCB has round corners. As I said it is just a little modification to improve your design, that's all!Then, I would try to move the Attiny and the programming holes from the top layer to the bottom one. I don't know if you had problems when placing this or the reason you placed them in the top layer, but if possible, moving them to the bottom player would make it look smoother and …

I don't know if you had problems when placing this or the reason you placed them in the top layer, but if possible, moving them to the bottom player would make it look smoother and it would truly resemble the real Youtube button! Again, I'm sure you have had your reasons to place it like that but this is just a recommendation. I would try to do the same with the switch and the button. I would do this just to "clean" the top layer. Again, that's just my personal opinion and others may disagree with me but I think every comment helps!Could you also post the PCB files so that we could make our own? Maybe these changes could be applied to the next version you make.I hope this has been useful and as I said it is just my point of view and I respect your work. I have made boards myself and I know they could be improved too! If you need something or want to collaborate just write to me!!! ;)

Thanks for the shoutout! Great instructable, it really looks like a robot with that light!

Well, I can't wait to see those on Tindie! Keep up the good work. If you need something just send me a message I have experience selling on Tindie!

I think JeremyM146 is right! You should try to sell these as kits in Tindie for example for people who want to start in electronics and don't know much about ordering parts and so on!Great instructable!

Amazing! Which 3D printer do you use? The finish quality is astonishing!
