Wireless lights

May 20th, 2009

Two groups showed an interest in controlling some lights within objects or on the floor…

so one of these groups I gave the electro-lumeniscent wires, which can be controlled wirelessly with the technology I developed for Schwelle II originally.
A report of that work can be found here, a blog I had completely forgotten about, until just recently I came a across it when looking through old bookmarks… and then today I remembered to look at it to figure out how to use the MOSFET, that I needed to help out on the other project, to control a bunch of LEDs with one of the sensor nodes.
This I got working by using the same serial protocol as used for the matrix of lights in Chronotopia. We’ll have to test out how this protocol performs when all the sensor nodes are sending data, in case they might by chance create a valid control message, but it should be quite solid, I think…
