It was going to be a competition, and whoever won would pass the subject with the highest grade. We're Mechatronics students in our first semester, so our knowledge is still very basic. Even so, my team and I worked hard to deliver the best decoration we could. Our Project We built an RGB LED structure with infrared-controlled patterns, powered by solar panels, with separate sequences for the leaves and trunk.

We attached the LEDs, connected all the wiring, positioned the Arduino and the solar panels, and assembled the system directly on t
