A mechanical tulip, lit by Adafruit NeoPixels #NeoPixel #Adafruit #ValentinesDay

Jiří Praus (Twitter @jipraus) has created a sensation on the internet since posting about a mechanical tulip he created for his wife.

It’s done! Mechanical tulip as a present for my wife. When caressed it blooms into various colors. And will never fade.

What’s behind the magic? Few pics of internals. It is controlled by Arduino Nano. Moved by a servo. And light up by 7 Adafruit NeoPixels and 30 SMD bright white LEDs.

A site hasn’t appeared with details but media has taken to the creation in the video below and Hackaday has posted about the same tweet we have.
