Instructables user ulmerju made a DrinkTimer powered with a Raspberry Pi Pico that glows with NeoPixels:
DrinkTimer measures the time a glass is lifted and, ideally, emptied. The duration is displayed on an OLED screen, which also shows the current time, fastest, and average drinking times.
The experience is enhanced with NeoPixel LED rings, creating vibrant light shows that amplify the party atmosphere. Additionally, a plotter and 3D printer were used to craft the enclosure and other components. This project not only adds a fun element to your next party but also offers a fantastic opportunity to delve into the world of microcontrollers and creative electronics.
