Once all the wires were attached, I downloaded my code onto my arduino and tested the board to make sure it worked (luckily it did first try). I used a laser cutter to cut out the piece of plastic to the size I needed and used glue to attach all the neopixel strips to the plastic.Īfter I attached the neopixels to the plastic, I soldered the wires to the nodes using different color wires (red for power, black for ground, and blue for data). This piece of plastic offered me an easier way to attach my neopixels to the project, along with a sturdy location for the neopixels to stay on to ensure they don’t bend too much.

After this I measured the dimensions of my bag (mine was about 10.5 by 12) and cut out a piece of plastic to match these dimensions. This allowed me to keep all the wires on one side of the board. To solve this problem I redid the simulation one last time and flipped every other row. The neopixel strips were oriented so that I would have to run wires across the board between every row. Luckily, I realized that my 12 by 12 code only used 8 rows anyway, so I switched to an 8 by 12 grid and tweaked the code to get an among us character that was both recognizable and able to fit on my bag.īefore I assembled the neopixels in person, I realized one more flaw with my prototypes. I compromised for this by making my second draft without the background and on a 12 by 12 grid, however after measuring the bag I planned on using I realized this broke my second requirement as the grid was too fat to fit on my bag. I also made a blue background which made it even harder to see. Initially I made the project on an 8 by 8 grid, however this broke my last requirement as the character was very short and distorted. The project had to display the lights in a way so that it was easy to recognize it as the among us character.īefore starting the project in person, I originally used tinkercad in order to make my first prototypes.

The project had to be able to run for long amounts of time without overheating.It had to have a power source that was both portable and able to produce enough volts and amps to meet the second requirement (about 5V 1A).It had to be bright enough to be seen even in the day.It had to be able to fit on my backpack.It had to be light enough for me to carry it on my back.It will also come in handy if you’re looking for simple Among Us birthday party supplies.While making the Among Us backpack there were a couple goals that had to be met, including: A whole bag of Among Us plush toys is a great gift idea, especially if your or your friends’ children like the game. The mini toys are authentic-looking and in line with the game’s original style. P.M.I., the manufacturer of these Among Us toys, is licensed by InnerSloth, the company that created AmongUs. GENUINE AMONG US STUFF LICENSED BY THE GAME’S DEVELOPERS. For parents and kids, toys can work as both party décor and entertainment as they bring a mood and a theme to a party and invite children to an activity-just play with them!

Find all these Among Us figures: the pink one in a green hat, the blue one in a white hat, the brown one with the bear’s ears, the green one wearing a festive cone hat, and more! AMONG US TOY COLLECTIBLES WITH THE TOTAL OF 6 FOR YOU TO COLLECT.
