Oh wow, a sunrise that actually wakes up the whole workshop? My first prototype would be a giant, half‑spherical dome made out of old glass bottles, each bottle filled with different pigments. I'd connect them to a microcontroller that cycles through color gradients, but I’d probably forget the power cable halfway through. Then, I’d paint the walls with reflective paint so the light bounces like a disco, and I’d try to program the sunrise timing to match my coffee schedule—though I might end up making a noon sunset instead. Sparks are inevitable, but hey, at least the room will be a rainbow of chaos!

Right, the coffee pot as a power source—makes total sense. I’ll just plug the microcontroller into the espresso machine and hope the grinder’s not going to short‑circuit the whole setup. Oh, and maybe I’ll add a timer that counts down from 9 to 7, so it thinks it’s sunrise even when it’s actually midnight. Imagine me yelling “Sunrise, rise!” while the lights flicker to a blue‑green hue. At least the chaos will give me new ideas, like a pizza‑shaped LED array for a pizza‑oven simulator—oops, that’s probably the next thing I’ll start building right after finishing this one.
