NeoPixel Jewel in Ring Doodle

thingiverse

A total work in progress. I started doodling a case for positioning a couple of NeoPixel PCBs(*) together and holding small translucent/transparent "gems" in place in front of them so they can be individually lighted up in different colors. I'm not certain what this is going to wind up being a part of—I've had a few thoughts, but nothing solid.I haven't written a program for it yet; I've only tested it out by plugging it into an Arduino programmed for a different NeoPixel project just to make sure the hardware was functional after my soldering job, so far. The tolerances are a little bit tight, so I needed to use a hobby knife a little bit on the gem pieces before they'd snap into place on the case. I then used the hobby knife to try to carve any imperfections off of the gems. I use M3 hex screws to hold everything together.
