We will post on this blog some of the circuits created by some of our users, implimenting SchmartBoard. This first project was a first place winner of the 2010 MCU Challenge in the Microchop Segment. Matt Bomicino is the designer.
Residential LED RGB Lighting System
"LEDs are just beginning to emerge as a viable alternative to
traditional artificial sources of light. This is exciting because the
LED has the potential to offer more flexibility than any other light
source available. The manipulation of light coloring that was
previously only available through hardware filtering can be
accomplished and changed on the fly.
This project aims to be a
proof-of-concept which explores the use of high-brightness RGB LEDs as
a primary source of ambient light in a home environment. The system is
designed to give the user an unprecedented level of control over his
lighting using both wireless and wire line digital communication."
