Title: Arduino Led Strip and more
Post by: michu on December 21, 2011, 09:05:08 pm
Hey all

I just released StripInvaders, my Arduino (Ethernet) based LED Strip (ws2801) driver. Some features:
-Bon­jour and mDNS support
-DHCP sup­port
-15 dif­fer­ent color modes
-Con­trol Strip­In­vaders with a Smart­phone or Tablet
-Step­less adjust the RGB value and the ani­ma­tion delay
-All fits into the 30kb firmware

I published the sources on https://github.com/neophob/StripInvaders (https://github.com/neophob/StripInvaders). Images and a video can be found on my blog: http://neophob.com/2011/12/stripinvaders-light-system/ (http://neophob.com/2011/12/stripinvaders-light-system/).

cheers

Seems awesome, and especially the mention of DHCP support caught my eye, heh.

Your movie on your webpage for the project does not seem to be loading, I am not sure why. Also, if I may suggest, show some pictures on your blog post of what the tablet or smartphone control looks like, and the associated circuitry and whatnot? Thanks for putting this on github and sharing your work by the way!

Also, just curious, did you take those pictures with a real, full blown, fish eye lens?

Hmm the movie and images working fine for me.

the pictures with the fisheye were taken by using a gopro camera. while it was ok to take pictures, the video was unusable.

oh, and dhcp AND mdns/bonjour is the fancy stuff here, as the osc client software will "discover" your arduino without troubles! and some more pictures are available on my flickerpage at http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelinvaders/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelinvaders/).

cheers
