My final product is a 4-button fidget toy with different activations for each button. The first button connects to a blue LED light, the second button connects to a speaker that will BEEP BEEP, and the third button connects to a red LED light. The last button is a simple fidget toy for when you’re stressed out (very good for when circuitry frustrates you because I tested it out myself).
I learned a lot about soldering, programming, and circuitry through this project. There is definitely room for improvement, but overall, I’m pretty proud that it works. If I had more time for the project, I would 3-D print a compartment to hide all the wires and paint the baseboard. I faced a lot of design problems and technical issues while adding circuitry to the buttons because the button was made entirely of paper but luckily I had help and feedback from my peers and my teachers. One of the biggest challenges in this project was the circuitry and wiring. I found it really hard to solder the wires onto paper (it was near impossible) and the copper tape wasn’t big help either as it frequently ripped and folded.
