[CyberBase System] Space Bridge Receiver Ver. 2 - (for electronics)

Shockwave's tower acted as the other receiving end of the Space Bridge on Cybertron. And since we have upgraded the Earth Space Bridge to be able to take on electronics for a light up feature, here's doing the same for this tower!

For quick reference, here are the other two parts required for the complete tower build:
+ Space Bridge Elevator - https://www.patreon.com/posts/34735568
+ Shockwave's Tower - https://www.patreon.com/posts/34820558

So when all printed out and built up, the tower should look like this, with the wiring running down the inside of the tower. And similar to the Earth Space Bridge, the default light up sequence we have done up features each of the light pod lighting up progressively faster and faster until they all are lit at once and the beaming over of the bot or energon cubes is complete!

=== Assembly ===

The included diagram shows how the parts of this build are meant to go together.

The core portion has been provided with two version - one with and another without a notch through which the circuit's wires can be threaded through.

The Lights are to be superglued together and then glued down as a "ring" onto the core piece.

It is recommended to print the LightCap part in clear, translucent or white filament to allow the LED light installed beneath to diffuse through it.

=== Electronics ===

Like before, our circuitry is based on an Arduino board and 9V battery for power, connected to a speaker and an array of individually cut WS2812B LED segments.

Here's our simplistic circuit diagram for reference (it's essentially the same as the space bridge). Also take note that the library " by Daniel Garcia" will need to be installed for our code version to work.

FIrst, you'll just need to solder all the LED segments together with wiring of around an inch between each of them/

Next to fit the LEDs inside the light pods, they will need to be folded as such. This could be a little tricky. If you are going to install this in an anti-clockwise fashion (as we are doing here), remember to start from the light pod one segment to the left of where the notch for the wires' exit is.

Using this basic pattern, simply go around, folding up the LEDs and positioning them in place. A tweezer can prove really helpful here. An initial light cover has been placed on the first LED to show where we started off from.

And there we go - a much more interactive light up Space Bridge Receiver Tower for Shockwave!

Hope y'all will have fun putting this one together too! Happy 3d printing and soldering! :)
