Create a portal in your room with some RGB led strips and an Arduino Nano

Interesting project of a YouTuber who has personalized the door of his room with a few strips of RGB LEDs, an Arduino Nano and later has lined the door with classic Pokémon cards.

The doors of the room are usually quite a simple and boring element, but, we can always give it a little spark and thanks. That's what YouTuber Evan Kale thought, who set out to give his room a different and cool touch and decided to customize the door, with very little, a strip of RGB LEDs, a few Pokémon cards and the grace of everything, a Arduino Nano. His idea was to develop an 'Alien Portal', so he attached a series of RGB LED strips to the frame, which were controlled by an Arduino Nano.

This project is really spectacular and it is quite simple to do. In the explanatory video of the process, we can see how the project has developed and the steps to follow. It should be noted that Evan mentions that his portal is controlled by a Hue Saturation Lightness (HSL), or what is the same, he has created a plate where he has integrated a potentiometer that will be the one who controls the RGB tones of the LED strips. This allows to offer a constant brightness, at the same time that we can change the colors of our spectacular frame.

The whole project has been developed with something as simple as an Arduino Nano, which is an excellent option, since it does not need a large amount of I / O, therefore it is not necessary to go to larger options. Evan has developed a small board to implement all the components and later a layer has been built to hide all the components, thanks to 3D printing. The truth is that the video does not have the slightest waste and in the description you can find all the elements used for the project, the diagram of the board and the code necessary to make the set work.
