Motion in Research

Motion in Research .. Research in Motion..
I love improvisation and make my own projects that do exactly what I want 

and does not cost a fortune.  Research an development and actually doing and finishing with 

working model is my goal.

Lately, I found an interest in Arduino projects. I got Uno and Due boards and a lot of other

electronic components and did my first project.  The necessity is a mother of invention and 

this time it led me to make a box that will allow me to remotely control my lights during parties.

And here we go.  After a few days and nights, I have a working model ready for a production!

I used Arduino Uno board and 8 channel relay board and together with InfraRed

receiver that works with my two remote controls.

Programming Arduino Uno is fun and practical.  Sure, there is many ways

of doing this project and I had two version of code working well.  This time I stick for 

easy and elegant code, and perhaps next time I will use timers with for loops 

to achieve the same goal.

Years ago, I did assemble a light organ using a kit and I am going to modify it, so it will

be control by a  remote to do all functions like turn on/off, adjusting signals for all three colors and switch between sound activation and sound signal input from a laptop or cellphone.

Dimming lights is on my agenda and I wiil do some browsing for other ideas.

Also, I will use more my cellphone to work with Arduino boards.
