Goal

Create good looking PWM based candles that are mounted to the table in Odin's Dilemma. This will remove the need to replace batteries in the candles, saving money and simplifying the room reset.

Tasks

  • Buy caps 2026-07-11
  • Install wooden caps over screws 2026-07-11
  • Create good looking candles
    • Wax dripping down
    • Base: screw holes for mounting, secured in candles
    • Wires go out
  • Create LED s with resistors
    • Resistors wired directly to LEDs (for 12 v) so it is clean
    • Place LED s in candles
  • Wire 3 mosfet boards
    • Test mosfet boards with LED s on test rig
  • Create path for wires from mosfet/raspberry pi
  • Route wires to candle locations
  • Mount candles to table 2026-07-11
    • Wooden/3d printed base to hold candles together? 2026-07-11
  • Wire candles 2026-07-11
  • Software 2026-07-11
    • PWM control for the 2 mosfet boards
    • Integrate into the escape room control 2026-07-11
