This project is to design an LED-driven light cube family -- I am planning one | |||
parent and two kids although you could add more children. | |||
== Function == | |||
The parent light can have its colour/brightness changed by | |||
tilting, moving, shaking or twisting. It transmits its RGB value | |||
over RF. The kids pick it up and fade their own lights into sync with mum. | |||
Kids can also operate as independent lights, similar to their mum. | |||
Also has a party mode with audio EQ visualisation, a color cycle mode, a fixed colour mode, etc, etc. | |||
== Parts == | == Parts == | ||
The parent has the following: | |||
* Arduino Pro Mini 3V3 (8MHz) | |||
* MMA 8452 3-axix accelerometer breakout board | |||
* An RF transciever | |||
* 5 RGB LEDs: top, front, back, left, right. | |||
* a Pololu low voltage power switch (picked mainly because it allows me to shutdown the entire system from code) | |||
* Portable power pack & charger (3.7V LiPO) | |||
* An MSGEQ7 breakout board | |||
* An electret microphone and accompanying op-amp gain circuit. | |||
* Push button switch for changing the colour mode | |||
The child units have everything but the MSGEQ7 & mic | |||
