I’ve had the Glowforge for about a month and half now and have been absolutely loving it! Here is a fun little project I completed while learning the Glowforge way of life. A 4 channel Arduino based prop controller for a haunted attraction. The Cheap scare 4000! 4 relays and an audio out fully programmable for any prop situation.
Used boxes.py for the enclosure design and edited it to taste. Not that exciting but thought I’d share anyway.

Is it an Arduino clone?
Thanks.
My first jump into Arduino was the Elegoo beginners kit I got from Amazon. Really nice board and components. I added an ESP32 for good measure.
Yes I thought I’d try out a clone for this project. Sounds like they are pretty reliable and it sure was cheaper! So far, so good
