Knowing that I’m always happy to get something new and glowy, my wife brought home a cheap “floating pool light” that she found on sale for roughly $10. This is a large white floating ball that has LEDs inside and cycles through different colors. Meant to be put into a pool for neat effects, we found it to be much more interesting just used around the house.

However, it was a bit too bright and cycled colors too quickly for our taste. It was actually somewhat distracting when we were just trying to sit and have a few beers late at night on our patio. This gave me a perfect excuse to tear it apart and start hacking… like I wasn’t going to do that anyway.

What I found inside was extremely simple. There’s a single un-marked chip that holds the different display modes (there were 3 display modes: warm, cool, and white). The LEDs were arranged in an array of Reds, Blues, Greens, and Whites (half marked yellow).

My goal was to make this a little more tolerable as mood lighting, so I needed to draw up a plan. I have an arduino sitting here from the redbull contest, so I figured why not hook it up to that? It would allow full PWM control of the channels and I could do some pre-programmed sequences if I wanted.

This was ridiculously easy. All I needed to do was solder leads on to each of the LED channels. There are already great tutorials on how to run PWM from the arduino and a couple quick additions would give me direct controls over each channel via potentiometers. So problem solved right?

Well, sort of. It really bugs me that there’s an entire arduino there just for some PWM. I can go buy the components to do 555 timer PWM circuits if all I want is PWM. Then again, if I compare the price, that free arduino is a much cheaper solution than buying 2xcaps, 1×555, 1xtransistor, and assorted resistors and diodes, especially if consider that I’d have to buy it all in triplicate.

Ultimately if I wanted to just leave this as PWM control on each channel, I’d opt for the 555 circuit. What else is there to do with a glowing ball? Simple notification system? Sound reactive? Give me some ideas.

[George] started with an 8×8 grid, but just couldn’t help himself from upscaling to this 32×16 pixel ping pong ball display. That’s right, It’s a 512 pixel array of fully addressable RGB LEDs diffused with one ping pong ball each.

We featured the predecessor to this project back in January. That one was an 8×8 display using a Rainbowduino as the controller. [George] took what he learned from that build and expanded upon it. The larger display is modular. Each module starts as an 8×8 grid which connects back to the Arduino using a breakout shield with some Ethernet jacks used as quick connects. The LEDs are driven by 595 shift registers, with transistors which protect the logic chips from the currents being switched.

He had a lot of help soldering all the connections for the display and ended up bringing it to show off at the Manchester mini maker faire. See it in action in the video after the break.

We’ve seen our fair share of LED light cubes before, but what makes this one different is its incredibly detailed, step-by-step tutorial.   The creator of this light show previously made a one color LED light cube and shared the trials, tribulations and instructions.  He has since decided to go multi-color, again while challenging himself and learning some new tricks along the way.

The project requires 512, 10mm RGB LEDs and an Arduino compatible microcomputer. The creator used wooden strips to create vertical panels of LEDs rather than horizontal layers for ease of building. The building and soldering took about one weekend and the software took about 70 hours. The author saves you time by providing most of the code for you.  Learn how to  fbuild your own RGB LED cube!

[Dearmash] put together this RGB LED display using triangles for each pixel. It’s an interesting deviation from the traditional grid layout. There are two video demos after the break. The first is a plasma-style pattern generated in Processing. The second is a spinning color wheel which would be perfect if synchronized with your Photoshop color spinner.

So the physical build is done, and now [Dearmash] is looking for a purpose for the device (isn’t that always the way it happens?). He mentions that the triangular layout looks cool, but makes text display almost impossible. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work? Right off the bat we could see side-scrolling a font similar to the Metallica logo’s M and A. Bu there must be some way to group these pixels together into readable characters. If you always use an upward and downward pointed triangle on the same row as a pixel it makes a parallelogram which would be used to display italicization characters.

This chandelier is something we’d expect to see on sale in the local gallery store. [Starkec] made it a couple of years back and we just love the look. The materials are pretty common, and you can throw it together in an afternoon.

The diffuser are made from clear glass soda bottles. After removing the labels and giving them a good cleaning, they were each set upside down and sprayed with some glass frosting spray. A four-conductor telephone wire serves both as the support for the bottle and electrical path for the RGB LED inside of each. The original screw cap for the bottles makes it a twist to install them after the soldering is done. There are two common color buses so that alternating colors can be shown at the same time. After seeing the video we think you’ll agree that the wiring scheme makes for some great animated effects.

Arduteka lanza su último tutorial!

En él nos descubre el nuevo módulo 3G para Arduino de Cooking Hacks con el que podremos construir una divertida alarma que nos enviará la foto de nuestro intruso directamente a nuestro correo, además de avisarnos por un mensaje sms a nuestro teléfono móvil sin necesidad de tener conectado nuestro Arduino a internet constantemente, pues lo hace todo a través de la red móvil.

Vamos a construirnos una alarma totalmente casera, a través del sensor de ultrasonidos, escanearemos continuamente el espacio situado enfrente suyo con un radio aproximado de 30º, cuando algún objeto o persona se sitúe en su campo de actuación a una distancia inferior a la que establezcamos, haremos sonar una alarma, tomaremos una fotografía, el Led RGB que antes estaba verde, pasará a color azul y daremos 10 segundos para poder desactivar la alarma a través de nuestro teclado matricial, si la desactivamos, volverá de nuevo a escanear el campo, pero si no!! Reproducirá un sonido contundente y se dispondrá a mandarnos un sms a nuestro teléfono móvil y la fotografía a nuestro correo electrónico.

Thermal flashlight is a widely used technique to “paint temperature with light”: by using a temperature sensor and a RGB flashlight, it is possible to illuminate a surface with a proper tonality, which, in turn, can be acquired by means of a standard camera. It’s main use is to find thermal leaks in houses and buildings.

In their article, PLOTS‘ staff propose and describe a nice and cheap way to build your own thermal flashlight with Arduino, together with a clear introduction to the subject.

We create an application based on Arduino, that allows you to control brightness and color of a RGB strip LED via local network or Internet through a WiFi or Ethernet shield

How it works

The system that we propose is based on the Arduino UNO, on which are mounted two shield: the Ethernet or WIFI Shield, which provides the connection to LAN, and the RGB shield which mounts three power drivers to control the LED strip.
In Arduino must be loaded different sketch depending of the type of connection you choose (Ethernet or WiFi). The sketch allows you to manage communication via LAN and create a web interface (which will come to those who try to access via a local network) and run the commands received.
Arduino is like a web server, an HTML page is showed through a browser, by introducing into the address bar the IP address corresponding to the ethernet/WIFI shield.

This means that the lamp can be turned on and controlled by any device on the network or remotely via the Internet. The web page shows the current setting of R, G, B of the lamp and allows you to edit them.

The shield RGB

Arduino controls the LED channels by a shield very simple, containing three MOSFET enhancement-mode n-channel type P36NF06; each MOSFET is driven on the gate, through a resistor, with the logic signal that Arduino sends. To be precise, pin 3 controls T3 (red), pin 5 controls T2 (green) and pin 6 controls T1 (blue), each line has a status LED, polarized by a limiting resistor (LEDs indicate how it is behaving this channel). Note that Arduino controls the individual transistors by PWM signals, which duty cycle determines the presence and intensity of a certain color; more precisely, the width of the pulses can changes from a minimum to a maximum to decide how much light should be the group of LEDs of the respective color.

The drain of each MOSFET controls the load which must be connected with the anode to the positive line of the common power supply (+); for each channel there is a connector with a positive contact (goes on line common) and a negative (corresponding to the respective drain MOSFET).
We have provided the possibility to power the LEDs in two ways: with the power drawn by Arduino contact Vin (in which case you should close the jumper on Vin) or with a voltage supplied to the terminal PWR (PWR jumper closed on), you can opt for the first solution if you think your lamps absorbs less than 1.5 amps, but if you need more power you have give power apart from the shield, with a suitable power supply.
Note that by closing the jumper on Vin, the Arduino must be supplied at 12 V with a power supply capable of delivering all the current required.

The web page

We conclude seeing the commands and reports available on the web page, there are buttons to issue commands, the option radio to select mode and some boxes where you write parameters. We start from the top, where we find the seven buttons, each relating to a color: each of them set in the lamp the combination of the LEDs R, G and B to obtain the corresponding color; receiving the command Arduino sets its color. Below these buttons are three boxes, with the Calculate button to the right: from left to right, they represent the colors red, green and blue. In each box, you can write, with a number between 0 and 255, the intensity that we have employed the same light, for example, typing 255 in the middle box we illuminate at full intensity green light.
The value in each cell can be varied with the buttons below Red+ Green+ and Blue+ (which increases the light intensity, respectively, red, green and blue) or by Red- Green- and Blue- buttons that reduce the intensity. Clicking on the Calculate button, see what color will obtain, whereas with Set colors send a request for setting the color intensity corresponding to the combination of the three boxes.
The last section of the web page is that of the fader: it is the effect of color change continues, activated by clicking in the option box next to On the same name (Fader) to disable this function you must click Off. By activating the fader, we will see the light of the lamp shades change cyclically from the currently set color, you can also choose between multiple execution speed of the cycle, the drop down menu which is accessed by clicking the middle box inc/speed was above a Fader section.
