Moodlight with Bluetooth Control
This project involves the design and development of both the hardware and software components of a mood light system, as well as the creation of an Android smartphone application for controlling the mood light via Bluetooth.
Read More
The mood light is inspired by the illuminated display cabinets commonly found in bars. The design features a wooden cube with a glass top, housing red, blue, green, and white LEDs. These LEDs can be mixed together, allowing for the creation of a wide spectrum of colors. Additionally, the brightness of the LEDs is controlled using pulse width modulation (PWM), enabling fine adjustments to the light intensity.
The system is fully controllable via an Android application, which communicates with the mood light using Bluetooth technology. This offers users the ability to adjust colors and brightness directly from their smartphones, providing a customizable lighting experience.
These projects demonstrate our expertise in delivering complex, forward-thinking solutions for the mobility sector, ensuring the successful implementation of state-of-the-art technologies in diverse transportation networks.
