Yoshi's Island Nursery and Baby Mobile
Created over the course of approx. 4 months for the room painting and an additional few months to create the Lakitu/ Yoshi mobile. Turn on Annotations to see additional details on the video. Thanks for watching! The background was applied/ textured using multiple latex paint colors, while the main elements were created using acrylic paints. The Mobile consists of a Lakitu made from Sculpey brand modeling clay with wire/foil armature and then painted using acrylic paints. The circuitry is comprised of an Arduino Duemilanove, wave shield with a LCD screen, re-purposed SNES controller (the shoulder buttons where already bad), and a small motor to drive the baby Yoshis. My awesome mother in law created the fabric sleeve and pyramid shape covering by hand. Special Thanks to RetroLefty on the Arduino.cc Forums for help with relay circuit!
