Each slice (including the base), will have 8 magnets attached to it (4 on top, 4 on bottom). These magnets are 1/4" diameter x 1/16" deep. Each slice will therefore need a hole drilled 1/16" deep in the center of each corner. The acrylic slices have marks already. It is important that the wood holes line up exactly. '''Make sure you do not drill all of the way through. It will be very difficult to mount the magnets if the hole does not have a bottom.'''

Our electronics will use an [https://www.arduino.cc/ Arduino] microcontroller. Specifically, the stalwart [https://store.arduino.cc/usa/arduino-uno-rev3 | Arduino UNO Rev3]. On top of this, we will use a [https://www.adafruit.com/product/196 | Proto-Screw Shield] from [https://www.adafruit.com/ | Adafruit].

Our system will be driving 12V led strips directly from this power line. You should not use a transformer significantly different than 12V. The circuit is show below as a [https://fritzing.org/home/ fritzing] breadboard diagram. You can also download an easier to read [[Media:TV_Mood_Lamp_fritzing.pdf|pdf]] or the original [[Media:TV_Mood_Lamp_fritzing.fzz|fritzing file]].
