This lamp is powered by an Arduino Mega256 and a PICAXE 08M2+ . The M2 has a Smart NightLight that is controlled with a Light detecting resistor and a passive Infra red sensor that senses movement in the dark. The nightlight will activate for 90 seconds with a pleasent warm red glow at low intensity and then turn off. The M2 has an interface PCB that holds the PICAXE 08M2 and connects the Arduino Mega256 to the LED strips. Other features include:
- 2 RGB outputs for LED strips (Front and Backside)
- 50 patterns of colorful RGB light
- Capacitve touch switch
- Two multi function knobs for adjusting parameters of patterns.
- One Active Infra red sensor for determining distance/color ratio
- One Passive infra red sensor for motion detection.
- One 20x4 LCD display (backlight option)
- Bluetooth enabled for choosing patterns.
- Direct pattern access through keypad.
- Static Patterns (patterns dont change)
- Dynamic patterns (patterns have parameters like Brightness, Speed, etc. that are adjustable)

The PCB I designed will be available this fall if there is any interest. Leave me a comment if you like this lamp.
