Description

The goal is to build wireless nodes that will control a bunch of LED's for cool lighting effects. The ultimate cool is to build enough, so we can put them in the connector pieces of our geodesic dome

TODO

Hardware

  • Design power circuit
  • Design LED circuit
  • Design USB2Serial circuit
  • Have design reviewed
  • Assemble BOM
  • Order thru-hole parts
  • Build thingamagic on breadboard
  • Have some fun!
  • Add more tasks as we go along

Software

  • Create some spiffy code to make the blinkenlichten go blink blink.
  • Create a C&C lib that organises the nodes and takes care of the comms between the nodes and the higher level software. I'm thinking REST API for the higher level stuff and UDP multicast for the lower end. Suggestions welcome.
  • Find a tool (better yet DIY) a tool that allows you to define an animation in 3D and project it on the geodome.
