RGB Lamp Kit

RGB Lamp Kit

My new kit uses an Arduino clone that I designed that I am calling “StackDuino”. For this project I designed an RGB Led board that displays various colors. The RGB board screws on top of the StackDuino.

This kit will be home brew. I will be posting the Eagle Board files shortly for anyone interested.

We are in the process of setting up a new creative space in Columbus, OH called Lifelong Labs (http://www.lifelonglabs.com) and this will be one of the first project that we work on. We should be fully operational by March.

Lifelong Labs provide “all ages” instructional workshops that explore the intersection of art & technology.  An organization created to engage enthusiast and the general public with artistic works intertwined with scientific and technological elements.

Our mission is to provide a fun atmosphere for learning that the whole family can enjoy!

Below are a few photos of the RGb Lamp. This is an open source kit, you are welcome to improve upon it. If you add to the design, please send me some photos so I can display them here.

The kit will come with the StackDuino board, RGB LED board, recycled cardboard box and battery holder. I will also be including some files to you get started with creating a simple origami box to use for the lamp shade.

The Arduino code is by Earthshine Design and can be downloaded here.
