Umbrella
How to simply turn on the Light
Use the light switch next to the kitchen. You can dim the light with the rotary knob on the side.
Why
The metalab needs some new lights.
ART-net is awesome.
How
Raspberry Pi 3 + Touchscreen
Distro based on the QLC+ image (raspbian jessie)
QLC+ X-server less build that renders directly in GL buffers for performance
H801 based clients (ESP8266)
Arduino based firmware that implements ART-net
Temporary setup with QLC+
Connect to "metalights" WLAN
Set OUTPUT to 10.20.255.255
Set ARTnet uiniverse to 3
There are 5 channels / Umbrella
R,G,B,WW,CW
If CW or WW are anything else but "0" R,G and B are disabled by firmware
If R,G or B are anything but "0" CW and WW are disabled by firmware
This is to save our powersupplies from sudden heat death.
(105 watt / Umbrella max)
