Winter is approaching and Barbie cold, I propose the creation of a wood stove!

In modern appearance, it is made from a PVC tube drainage.

The fire is imitated with a RGB LED (3 colors) controlled by a ATtiny 85 (8-pin microcontroller programmed with Arduino Uno).

Inspired by this article, I used an ATtiny85 and 8mm RGB LEDs to simulate a fire.

You can download the Arduino code and electronic scheme.

You can program the ATtiny85 with the Arduino uno board following this article or this article in french.

Mounting

The stove is painted black with spray paint, the door is maintained with small hinges and I added a photo of fire in background.

The circuit is cut shorter and it is stuck with a the glue gun.

I added wood logs below.

I used an aluminum tube to the chimney.

Done !
