Do you like the plasma ball that can be filled with high electricity? If you do, then this Plasma controller might be the project that you’re waiting for…

For your information, the main goal of this project is to develop a plasma ball and you have the chance to learn how to put the glowing gases into the plasma ball.

First thing first, you should keep yourself prepared with a control for recurrent sequences and a simple design effect. For the microcontroller, the ATmega8 is suitable to control the two high-voltage Digipots.

Secondly, you have to test Atmega8 board and adding the PWM on it. Please make sure that you chose the right RS232 adapter for the parameterization via a PC.

The plasma ball has at least 20-liter volume and the Traummaß of 36cm in diameter. Remember not to touch it with your bare hand, or else you’ll be fully toasted! For the high-voltage transformer of all-rounder, it had a mold made of PVC shot. Also, please ensure that everything is polymerized in a vacuum.

Voila, now you have a magnificent and mystery plasma ball!
