The light setup is now working with the new Nordic RF radio and keyfob. Now it’s just a matter of finding interesting things to do with 5 buttons…

Started playing with a new keyfob remote based on a Nordic nRF24L01+ RF radio.  Trying to rewrite software libraries to control it.

Also added connectors to my LED controller board.

One problem with using LEDs to light my furniture is that it might give my apartment a “fishtank lighting” appearance. It may be possible to tweak the RGB balance to give it a warmer look.

Big Difference

Hooked the Arduino up to an LED controller board utilizing TLC5940 LED driver chips.  The Arduino now has control of all three RGB channels.

Just started playing with my Arduino micro. Rewrote the LCD4Bit library to work with an old HD44780-based 40×4 character LCD I had laying around.
