Each pixel has full RBG control with intensity. Using Raspberry Pi running Python and Flask for serving up web client for fun mobile phone control. Opportunities are endless

Competed IoT LED solution for daughter’s room with custom scenes. This is the comet scene :)

Simple interface wiring, however, it is the programming of the Raspberry Pi Python scripts that drive the dynamic outcome. Inserted magnets for mountless wall install

Finally found some time to create my custom Raspberry Pi interface for the garage DMX lighting control

Sweet! Finally got Raspberry Pi Rasbarian OS configured to send DMX out via the FDTI driver. Working examples in both GO and Python3 languages. Creativity commencing! #Golang #iot #Python #RaspberryPi

Setting up the Raspberry Pi environment for my scrolling LED marquee project. Installed Raspbian OS and Python libraries. Sandboxing GPIO pins now with a breadboard breakout (see test LED in pic) then experimenting with programmable control of serialized WS2801b LED strips.

I thought this is a cool observation and explanation on how the human eye averages light recognition. Spinning Lighting fixtures are incorporating this principle now for virtual video walls and hologram effects. youtu.be/_FlV6pgwlrk #SmarterEveryDay

Next project: mobile roll-up 16ft scrolling LED RBG marquee powered by Rasberry Pi using (7) SW2801B LED5050 strips and 20 amp 5v power supply. There are existing Python libraries I will use as baseline and extend with custom code. More to come. #Python #RaspberryPi #NeoPixel

Installing black lights for garage rock wall

Here is my brother’s latest project. He owns a web and media business in Illinois, #CreativeSitesMedia , and recently added some programmable lighting bling to his location. Awesome! vimeo.com/334814607/869c…

Collaborated with an intelligent lighting company this past weekend on innovative concepts around automated lighting fixture control. Got a great tour, met passionate folks, and demonstrated my hardware/software prototypes created for fun.

Garage rock wall is done and the kids are loving it. Connected a Pioneer receiver to power the in-ceiling Klipsch audio speakers. Wired up IR extender so kids can easily control the unit. Sounds great!

Building a bouldering wall in the garage for the kids to play on. Just added in ceiling lighting and rigging audio up. Should be done by this weekend

Helped my brother to setup and program a white tie Gala in Illinois this year. Used my prototype .NET DMX software to control fixtures, including #BlizzardPro lasers with fantastic results. Few photos of the event attached.

Device I built for controlling 48 outputs via DMX from my code. Each port can draw up to 12 volts at two amps and can be used for devices such as solenoids, motors, electric fuses, etc. Hacked a PC case w/ power supply added DMX cards, press terminals, LED & lots of soldering
