RGB LED on

Illuminatrix

I first posted about my lighting solution in Cupcake155 Episode 4, it’s since evolved a bit and it’s time for an update.

Illuminatrix is mainly documented here on hackaday.io and the code assets are�here on github.

The latest is it’s now fairly easy to install the Octoprint Plugin component of Illuminatrix. The instructions for that are posted on the readme on github. Also, the Octoprint plugin was broken by changes in Octoprint at some point, so the plugin has been updated to fit the new requirements.

Cupcake155 has been endowed with a sweet lighting system. I built it in an open way, so others can re-trace my steps without having to start from zero. It’s actually a pretty sweet system, I call it Illuminatrix.

Retro Lamp goes HypnoOrb

Candice saved this hideous old lamp from a bulldozer (literally) and for the last year and a bit we’ve had it hanging up in our basement for extra ambient lighting. The light was setup only to be turned off/on by pulling/placing the plug and that part’s so sketch that we rarely use the thing. So when it came time to replace a bulb, I decided to use a HypnoOrb instead of a more typical bulb. ** **

World, meet the HypnoOrb

Using the toys I’ve been enjoying ever so much lately, I’ve managed to really nicely smooth out the programming in my Arduino for my RGB LED. It’s so awesome that I’m given it a name! Meet the HypnoOrb!

At this point I only have the raw prototype, but I’m considering going ahead an making more of them. I have to work out pricing and smooth of some aspects of the design. If you’re interested in getting one, please contact me or post a message here - the more interest I see on this thing, the faster I’ll work at finding an inexpensive means of producing them.
