Noisebridge's skylights are boring and dull. Lets make them shiny shiny! [[Image:Skylighting_-_First_Blinkings.jpeg|thumb]] = The Idea = In all of Noisebridge's skylights, a set of RGB LED strips at the base. Each controlled by a standalone microprocessor connected via ZigBee, with the network as a whole controlled by a RaspberryPI base station. The system should be as [[Anti-Fragile]] as possible: * If the power goes out, it should come back on and look neat * Each skylight can act independently of hardware failure of any other skylight * Multiple base station designs can be used to control simultaneously, as long as can speak a protocol over ZigBee * Wireless by default, wired if available * Use of DNS-SD so you don't have to scan the network to find a damn basestation * Replacing parts is really cheap and easy to do Some really neat uses: * Clicking a spot on a map on [[Infobanana]] turns the overhead lighting into a magical directional indicator * When someone buzzes the door, perhaps a certain pattern could be shown * A UI that lets one configure each cell's RGB for an event * Automatically turning on/off based on a motion sensor grid in the space = The Software = * '''[https://github.com/tdfischer/skylighting Skyglighting on Github] - Main issue tracker''' * [http://git.phrobo.net/cgit/graviton.git/ Graviton] - Internet+RPI network control, interactivity, and discoverability * [https://github.com/phrobo/gpiotty gpiotty] - RPI+ZigBee connectivity = The Hardware = * A handful of [https://www.adafruit.com/product/306 LPD8806 LED Strips] * Taking advantage of LED Arudino [http://bestrgbledstrips.com/2016/11/18/rgb-led-strip-arduino RGB LED Strips Arudino]
