Unconventional Switch - Austin Becker & Gabriel Nash

 




This switch was made using 2 dice that acted as the switch's mechanism. The dice used were D&D dice, which are made of metal, and are conductive. When the dice are pressed together, it completes the circuit. The 5 volt power source comes from an Adafruit Bluefruit Express, which is powered by a USB cable. The LED being powered was a 2 volt LED, which required two 100 Ohm resistors to provide the diode power without providing it too much power. Once passed through the LED, the ground cable was connected back to the Ground port on the Bluefruit Express.
