Software and Hardware required

Pinhole camera hardware needed:


  • a large piece of 5mm thick foam core board
  • A 2cm x 2cm flat piece of thin metal from a tin can
  • three 35mm spools
  • A tubual plastic, cheap ballpoint pen (tube will be cut and used in the camera)
  • Black acrylic paint
  • A strong craft glue
  • A sharp knife for cutting the foam core board
  • A metric ruler
  • A needle
  • A fine-grit sandpaper
  • A flashlight or electric torch
  • A metal straight edge to aid in cutting

Hardware needed for (LED) mood lamp:

  • Arduino Uno board (older boards should be compatible)
  • USB A to USB B connector cable
  • Arduino solder-less breadboard shield (or
  • 3 resistors (330 ohm)
  • Red LED
  • Green LED
  • Blue LED
  • breadboard connector wire
  • white paper
  • scissors
  • tape
Some of these materials could be substituted if they are not readily available:
  • A regular breadboard can be used instead of the breadboard shield
  • Other resistors can be used, just try to find three identical resistors between 330 and 1000 ohms
  • Any different color LEDs can be used in this project
Software Required

For the pinhole camera no software is required. Although for the mood lamp  a computer a Arduino computer software
