iPhone controlled RGB LED via Arduino and DMX

[ScaRSeiF44]

Please I want to know what material did you used ?

[GizmoPad]

this is 100% what i need. i would love to get the source code even if i have to pay, i am a iphone dev so i have my own idea on the control but i would like to see how it works curently

[SpaceCredits]

Can you post how to connect andruino to led's and tie them to some software, not as much control or iphone needed just like a basic version of what you have here, it's awesome.

I want to create something for my working space where I can just control the mood lighting via arduino or some other easy way :] any help?

[SoundsFantastic]

So is the DMX controller easier than just using built in arduino commands to control the LEDS? Also why not use an XBee for tx'ng rx'ng? They are cheaper and you also can get 200x's the range for the price of what you paid for the WiShield if you wanted.

@SoundsFantastic

I am wondering about the same.. why go through DMX if you're already using an arduino? Wouldn't it be easier to just control the LEDs directly? Any advantage from using DMX?

[nicoo2k]

Wonderful work!!! can't wait to see it finished! congratulations.

[Nikademuz]

Very, very nice!

[MARVINXELA]

hi i want to control a circuit by wifi directly, you can help me?, with a list of items to start looking, and I have no experience with wifi, or if you give me anything tutorials addresses will welcome this interesting your project Thanks

[djsubliminal]

can you pleeeaasee tell me what kind of RGB LED source are you using?? ohh and which DMX controller.

by the way is it controlled via an ad-hoc connection directly to the wishield?

[TRaddcliff]

dude that room looks SUPER vibatious. real nice.....REAL NICE. mood control at your finger tips. the transitions are sick!

#awesome

Whats the soundtrack plz ?

Kinda luvin' it ^^

Thanks for the video, I've actually been working on developing my own iPhone app/OS X host app/microcontroller for an LED controller over the last few weeks. It's been a pretty slow process so far, but this is what I'm hoping my end product is similar to. One question though... how did you get your app onto your phone? I had my iPhone jailbroken, but couldn't figure out how to get around Apple's app store to get my own developed apps onto the phone...

[brashears5]

@compwhiz212 u don't need to jailbreak ur iphone to get ur own apps to work on it... just get the certificates from apple for $100 a year & u can do it staright from xcode

[notaleo]

would that work using the PWM ports on the Arduino? or does it need the DMX output? i found a way to connect an rgb led amp straight to the PWM ports to run my rgb rope light and it was only $25 so if i don't need the dmx controller it will be a lot cheaper:-)

[dojomojomofo]

@notaleo I'm looking at making something like this - the Arduino doesn't have a lot of PWM ports, and can't drive many lights as it's only 40 mA per pin, but the TLC5940 looks like a great starting point, and there's already an Arduino library for it.

[usLEDsupply]

@dojomojomofo yes the standard Arduino only has 6 PWM pins and the mega has 14 PWM pins but there are several ways to add more. the TLC5940 looks neat and the only downside i see is you couldn't run any of the 12v strips from it without an amp but it would be great for 20mA leds or you may checkout the fast SPI library code.google,com/p/fastspi/ for the Arduino as it can control devices like this usledsupply,com/shop/rgb-32-sp­i-dmx-decoder.html witch would give you 96ch at 300mA

[usLEDsupply]

each or you could connect amps to the whatever outputs you would want to connect more then 2' of strip with as they could boost it up to 64' of strip

[georgeflacker]

By any chance have the name of the song?

[georgeflacker]

Bonkers!!! Fantastic project. You gave me inspiration to improve the project that I had in mind.

Thanks for the upload and greetings from Chihuahua.

[ellpancha]

Is the iphone connected directly to the wifi shield, with out any pc or router?

[wilddog915]

Amazing.... Can you provide some more info on how to build something like this? Also which model arduino are you using? What kind of light source are you using? I cant imagine a single LED give off that much light

[ffaerber]

super geilo raphael

besonder die schüttel funktion.

[pavao123]

Man, share this with us...

[Hackfrag]

are you going to publish the sourcode? (iphone app sourcecode?)

[Raphael792]

Hey actually I didn't plan to publish the sourcecode. It's not finished yet and it's not very clean.

[kyle170g]

@Raphael792 May I please have a copy of the source code?.... i have built basically the same thing but with 20 rgb leds running at 5 volts. They have 3 independent channels and are controlled by home made pwm's... I'd really like to have the source code to make this project as easy as possible... :)... please contact me

[mindthomas]

What's the app you have on the iPhone?

Also, how does it connect to the WiShield - which protocol are you using?

[Raphael792]

Hey, I've developed the App just for me. It's not in the Appstore. It's a socket connection between iPhone and WiShield.

Cheers, Raphael ;)

[mindthomas]

Developed in XCode?

It's nice though :)

[Raphael792]

Thanks. Yep, XCode.

[kdittyr]

very cool. keep it up :)
