MyRGB Lamp

thingiverse

The project demonstrates RGB light production using a digitally-addressable LED strip controlled by a microcontroller (e.g., Arduino Pro Mini) via serial communication through Bluetooth, XBee, or USB. Essential components include a wooden support (optional), an RGB LED strip from Adafruit or Pololu, and the chosen method of serial connection. A demo video and code repository are available for reference. Inquiries and suggestions are welcome. Upon activating Bluetooth, users can control the lamp via the accompanying application. The program features a hue palette with 30 rods, one for each LED on the strip. Users can create custom patterns by clicking and dragging the mouse cursor. Pressing the spacebar while clicking removes the color from the corresponding LED. Remember to include the wooden support (optional), RGB digitally-addressable LED strip (from Adafruit or Pololu...), microcontroller (arduino pro mini, for example), Bluetooth .OR. Xbee .OR. an USB wire. Below, you can find a demo video and the link to the git repository with all the code involved: software and firmware. Questions or suggestions are welcome.
