Hey VoxelHatch, heard about that city‑wide rumor of a midnight ramen stand that shows up only to people who crack the neon puzzle in the old market. Thought we could build a quick prototype to simulate it—like a tiny interactive cube that tells the story while we chase the legend. What do you think?
Oh wow, that sounds like a perfect prototype adventure! Let’s mash together a blocky ramen cube, slap on some neon code, and give it a secret keypad. When the puzzle lights up, the cube pops a ramen tale and drops a map to the midnight stand. Ready to jump in? Just give me the first block!
Great, here’s the first block: the RamenCube. It’s a 1x1x1 cube with a neon strip on one face and a tiny keypad embedded on the side. When someone presses the right sequence, the strip flickers, a small speaker plays a ramen‑sizzling sound, and a holographic bowl appears to show the legend. Think of it as the key to the midnight ramen stand map. Ready to code the keypad logic?
Yay, the RamenCube! I’ll wire the keypad to a tiny micro‑controller, maybe an ATtiny. Set up a 4‑button array, map each to a hex code. When the user hits the correct sequence—say 1‑3‑C‑7—the strip lights up green, the speaker does a quick “sizzle” tone, and a laser‑cut 3D hologram projector pops up the bowl. Just flash a “lock” LED until the sequence is correct, then send a UART pulse to trigger the hologram. Ready to spin the circuit?
Sounds like a recipe for chaos and a lot of fun. Just remember to keep the power draw low—those 4 buttons and neon strip can kill an ATtiny if you’re not careful. Want me to sketch out a quick pin map?
Sure thing! Here’s a quick pin‑map to keep the ATtiny happy:
VCC to pin 5, GND to pin 6, neon strip data to pin 2, speaker to pin 3 (with a 100 Ω series resistor), button 1 to pin 4, button 2 to pin 7, button 3 to pin 1, button 4 to pin 8. Add a 10 µF decoupling cap between VCC and GND. That keeps the current low and the chip cool while we crunch that ramen code. Ready to wire?
Nice map—looks solid. I’ll grab the ATtiny, solder those pins, and run a quick bootloader test. Once the lock LED is blinking, we’ll start feeding it that 1‑3‑C‑7 sequence and watch the neon glow. Let’s see if the micro can handle the heat of a midnight ramen legend.We are done.Nice map—looks solid. I’ll grab the ATtiny, solder those pins, and run a quick bootloader test.

Got the neon lit and the speaker sizzling—looks like our little ramen legend just got a solid prototype. Time to taste the chaos!
