Solar Plant Lamp

I took a three-week class before my sophomore year of college, called EE11SC (Dream it, Build it!), where I learned about the basics of using microcontroller boards to make machines! We had the whole three weeks to work on a project with a partner, and my partner and I used an Arduino to create a solar powered lamp, that looks like a little plant! We 3D printed the leaves, made the stems out of copper tubing that we fed all the wires though, and designed both the power management from the solar charging and a touchscreen user-interface to change the color of the light, turn it off or on, and adjust the brightness.

Below are some pictures and videos of the final product!

Some photos from development!
