Created page with "Noisebridge's skylights are boring and dull. Lets make them shiny shiny! thumb = The Idea = In all of Noisebridge's skylights,..."

New page

Noisebridge's skylights are boring and dull.

Lets make them shiny shiny!

= The Idea =

In all of Noisebridge's skylights, a set of RGB LED strips at the base. Each controlled by a standalone microprocessor connected via ZigBee, with the network as a whole controlled by a RaspberryPI base station.

The system should be as [[Anti-Fragile]] as possible:

* If the power goes out, it should come back on and look neat
* Each skylight can act independently of hardware failure of any other skylight
* Multiple base station designs can be used to control simultaneously, as long as can speak a protocol over ZigBee
* Wireless by default, wired if available
* Use of DNS-SD so you don't have to scan the network to find a damn basestation

Some really neat uses:

* Clicking a spot on a map on [[Infobanana]] turns the overhead lighting into a magical directional indicator
* When someone buzzes the door, perhaps a certain pattern could be shown
* A UI that lets one configure each cell's RGB for an event
* Automatically turning on/off based on a motion sensor grid in the space
