Do you like art and tech, then you will love these earrings!
What is it?
Earrings with colored LED's designed for the artist. 7 different colored LED's are lit in different patterns and controlled by an ATtiny84a. These earrings are powered by a CR1225 coin cell battery, and will last at least 3 days, and up to 2 weeks (depending on the pattern). A button on the back of the earring can be used to select different patterns, or to turn off the device.
These earrings can be programmed with the Arduino IDE, using a SPI programmer (for example the Arduino UNO as programmer).
Why did you make it?
My wife really likes the previous designs, for example (Spiral), and challenged me to make something for the artists. Using Inkscape I designed the different layers for the PCB board. The handle of the brush is the plain fiberglass of the PCB board, while the metal ferrule is a large soldering pad.
What makes it special?
The earrings are entirely assembled by hand. I use a stencil and reflow oven to install the components on the font, the back is done with a soldering iron. The Arduino IDE is used to program the micro-controller. To conserve energy, the ATtiny84a is in sleep mode, 99.9% of the time. It only wakes up to determine which LED should be turned on or off before entering sleep mode again.

The seller
California STEAM was started in the summer of 2017 in Stockton, CA by Alicia and Sander van de Bor. They added Art to STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) to create STEAM.
STEM and STEAM education is a growing necessity to meet the future demands of STEM jobs in the upcoming decades. These jobs are required in almost every field, from manufacturing to medical.
California STEAM develops creative solutions for all ages. Their classes are taught at several locations throughout Stockton (libraries, Mexican Heritage Center etc.)
The products developed by California STEAM are a combination of Art and Technology. These are designed to motivate young makers to get more familiar with electronics and programming. These young makers are the engineers of the future.
