What's new

Developing a lighting automation system cheap & cool!

Oh man that is cool. When can I ship you to the U.S? I have a new condo and could use some awesome lighting.

Update:
I just fixed the transistor-bug.
Apparently I forgot to connect the transformer's (PSU) ground to the Arduino's Ground. This caused the transistor's control pin not to get any power AT ALL.
If there's on thing I always forget then it's that.
So I got the control circuit working, though I do have a new bug now (if the power is set to off then the light stays on, but very dim though).

EDIT: Fixed everything, circuit works as it should now.
 
Received my RAM today for my PC so I finally continue work on this project.



Haven't changed the program yet, that's why you only see 1 LED work.

PS: Sorry about the quality, I have no idea what my camera had. *killme*
 
Awesome setup! I would add more lamps and have some lamps that are only for bass and some only for the higher pitched notes, this way you get even more separation.

Yup, I'm thinking about that too.
Currently my idea is to have 2 for bass, 2 for mids and 2 for highs. Maybe L/R channels? I dunno. So many ideas!
 
how about linking the whole system to something that can play midis, where every note is a different color + bass. And then get floppy disc drives and
