Arduino Mood Lamp

I’ve seen a few mood lamp postings around so I decided to build my own. In it’s current incarnation it does a slow hue cycle when powered on and waits for serial data in the mean time. When it recieves serial data it alters it’s color based on that data. This way I can scrape the net somehow and pass info to the lamp and change it’s color based on some external information source. Color changes are dissolved from one to the next. I can also send a switch to it so it re-activates the hue cycle. Hardware is based on Arduino and the host application that sends data and scrapes the web is currently based on Processing.

Most color cycle examples do not actually accomplish a full spectrum of color. while fading one color down they’re fading the next up – to achieve full spectrum, you need to maintain one channel at 100% while one fades up and only fade down once another channel is at 100%… anyway…

Here is a shot of the light currently (click for movie of the color cycle):



there are still kinks to work out and some features to add, but it’s looking good so far…
