Musical Birthday Box VIDEO 1 w/2 x Arduino Nano, 6 x SN74HC595, 2 x Universal Prototype Board, Passive Buzzer & 48 LEDs

The video tutorial presents a project initiated by form three students at Lompoc Secondary School, showcasing a musical birthday box. The box, powered via USB, contains a universal PCB with 48 LEDs, shift registers, and a buzzer. It features a Winnie the Pooh image and uses a photoresistor to detect light, controlling the music and lights. Two Arduino Nano boards manage the lights and music, sharing the photoresistor. The tutorial includes troubleshooting tips and invites viewers to request the Arduino code.
