Hi, this is a little something i'd like to make for a very late valentines present ; ) I have a printer and cutting machine and some conductive ink, and want to create a small card box with silhouettes and low powered led light inside that can change colour.
It's to use in the uk, behind glass...do we have any electrical solutions to harness the power of sarcasm? that would be handy, but all i can suggest is something like a 9-12cm square solar panel to sit on top which would charge a battery (ideas?), and allow for an uber low-powered change-colour led.
If possible, i'd like to use conductive ink (https://www.bareconductive.com/) to 'draw' I/O switches to toggle when touched by a fingertip; one for I/O, and one to toggle between colours.
Does that sound plausible? i'm a total newbie and don't really know where to start (my background is design) but i'd like it to last, and i'd like to know that the specced solar panel and battery would absorb more than enough in grey conditions to power a teeny light for at least a couple of hours use. Any ideas on the setup i'd require?
Thanks
