Job Title: Electronics Project: Pressure-Sensitive LED Coaster
Source: reddit-r-forhire
Project Overview
I am looking for assistance in building a custom DIY electronics project. The goal is to create a coaster/puck device that triggers a bright light when an item (a liquor bottle) is lifted from it.
Reference Image: View Design Concept
Project Specifications
The device should be approximately 4–5" round and battery-powered. The functionality is straightforward:
- Bottle present: Device remains off.
- Bottle lifted: Red LED immediately begins flashing.
- Bottle replaced: Light turns off.
Technical Requirements
- Components: CR2032 (or similar) battery, normally-closed lever microswitch, and a flashing LED.
- Mechanism: A slightly spring-loaded/floating top plate to trigger the switch.
- Enclosure: Needs to look polished and discreet (not a breadboard project). A 3D-printed black enclosure with a clear/frosted acrylic top is preferred.
- Exclusions: No Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Arduino, logging, alarms, or cameras required.
Deliverables
- Quantity: 4 units.
- Design: I can provide a rendering showing the exact design I have in mind.
Compensation
- Budget: Approximately $100 plus reasonable costs for parts and shipping.
- Open to receiving quotes.
Location
- I am located in New Orleans.
