It’s a Lamp

I found lots of nice wood pieces and these perfect translucent acrylic panelsĀ at SCRAP for just a few bucks. Highly recommend the place!

The light’s handled by the aforementioned green LEDs wrapped around a wooden core, and controlled through an Arduino and my laptop.


Where to go next?

  • cut silhouette patterns for the shade with Ponoko
  • carve designs into the wooden frame
  • use a BlinkM RGB module (or a MaxM – 445,000mcd?!)
  • going wireless with an XBee is really tempting for when I have multiple objects around
  • the next one won’t be a box. It’ll be… something else.
