This Instructable shows you how to build large spherical lamps out of Ikea lampan lamps ( $4.99 each ).The lamps are based on platonic solids. With this method I have built large spheres up to 32 lamps. In the PDF below i included three templates: for the six, twelve and 32 lamp versions. These are allgenerated from a python script in the Maya software. I calculated that the largest sphere that could bebuild has about 120 lamps and i would love to build that one; but it will be heavy and bright and probablyneeds some serious thinking on the structural integrity. Drop me a mail if you are interested in havingone.
See the flickr set for more pictures and my log.
platonic_sun_building_template.pdf (595x842) 1 MB
Step 1 Tools
You need a couple of tools. I burn holes in the lamps with a soldering iron and connect them together with'tie-wraps. You need also tools to strip the wires and connect them together. I use piggy-back connectors(used in cars). They come with a nice tool to squeeze them together, but there are various other ways. You can use a clothes hanger to mount the lamp on the ceiling.
Step 2 Unpack the lamps
In this instructable I show how to build a cube with six lamps. Unpack the lamps, and cut of the wiresinbetween the switches and the lamps.
Step 3 Burn the holes
Print out the appropriate page(s) of the template PDF. Mark the holes with a pen and burn holes with asoldering iron. The tire-wraps should go easily through the holes. Burning holes in plastic is not so nice,but easier than drilling. So open a window or do it outside.
Step 4 Connecting the power cables
Strip the cables. For connecting the wires I use piggy-backs. Three wires go together in one piggy back (blue by blue and brown by brown ) then connect the four resulting piggy-backs two by two, and then to apower cable. Use one of the cables you cut off earlier.
Step 5 Connecting the lamps together

MaKey MaKey: An Invention Kit for EveryoneAn Open Hardware project in Santa Cruz, CA by Jay Silver · send message
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Kickstarter is over, but you can still get info and BUY fromthe MaKey MaKey website.
What's MaKey MaKey?
MaKey MaKey is an invention kit for the 21st century. Turn everydayobjects into touchpads and combine them with the internet. It's a simpleInvention Kit for Beginners and Experts doing art, engineering, andeverything inbetween:
It comes ready to use out of the box with everything you see above: MaKeyMaKey, Alligator Clips, USB Cable.
What Can I Make?
That's up to you! First, load up a computer program or any webpage (yesthat's right, you're surfing the internet to invent).
Let's say you load up a piano. Then, instead of using the computer keyboardbuttons to play the piano, you can hook up the MaKey MaKey to somethingfun, like bananas, and the bananas become your piano keys:
Or let's say you Google for an online "Pacman" game and draw a joystick witha pencil (yes, an actual ordinary pencil):
Then you can play Pacman by touching the drawing with your finger.
Or you could load up facebook or gmail and send a message on a custom-made alphabet soup keyboard:
How Does it Work?
Alligator Clip two objects to the MaKey MaKey board. For example, youand an apple.
When you touch the apple, you make a connection, and MaKey MaKey sendsthe computer a keyboard message. The computer just thinks MaKey MaKey isa regular keyboard (or mouse). Therefore it works with all programs andwebpages, because all programs and webpages take keyboard and mouseinput.
Make + Key = MaKey MaKey!
Who is MaKey MaKey For?
Artists, Kids, Educators, Engineers, Designers, Inventors, Makers... Really it isfor everyone. Here is an 8-year-old girl in a Maker Space:
She invented a "knife-and-log" interface for cutting virtual wood in an onlinegame.
We ran a workshop in February 2012 with some professors and grad studentswho specialize in interaction design. One grad student made this beachballgame controller:
