Teapotty has RGB LED reactive hearts!

I decided what my Teapotty! needed was some RGB LED heart indicators to show when and where Teapotty had moved over 180 degrees, so I added some BlinkMs (addressable RGB LEDs), some more code and then made some polymorph hearts.

 

Teapotty! is a teapot sitting on a servo which takes readings from a magnetometer which is influenced by neodymium magnets in a cup. The magnetometer takes the reading from the north position, plays a bit of something similar to the Tetley Tea tune and then moves to a new position - where the teacup moves to.

 

Teapotty! is an interactive electronic teapot I've constructed for the Chi-TEK tea party event & exhibition of tech teapots at the V&A in Sept 11.
