Building the Electronics Circuit

Legs of RGB led are connected to PWM pins on Arduino UNO board through resistors.

The potentiometer sends values from 0 to 1023, which are then mapped into smooth transitions using code.

Building the Enclosure

I built a custom LEGO enclosure for this project from my rocket LEGO I have built before.

Image of the rocket is attached as well.

Adding "Crystals"

Colorful beads were added to act as crystal-like elements.

Arduino RGB Color Mixer with LEGO Enclosure and Bead Crystals

The circuit is placed inside LEGO enclosure, and beads are scattered around.

The final version demonstrates a working RGB color mixer controlled by potentiometer.
