Doughboy Activity Sensor
With a cubical in the back, I wanted this Doughboy to indicated to my co-workers if I was at my desk or not. So I carved out the Doughboy’s eyes, stuck him on a rotating pedestal, and lite him up with LEDs. A motion sensor, a stepper motor, and a microcontroller all make him go. When I’m at my desk his eyes are Blue and he happily faces me. When I’m out and about he glows Red in anger and turns around to look for me.
