Hey Everyone! It's been quite a journey to this point, but I've finally released my Android app Nebulights which runs off the IOIO and I'll be able to start selling lights and the Nebulei in the video in August =)
Below is a video of it in action, as words don't describe it well enough - I recommend watching past the 50 second mark, as that's where the whole designing part gets started and what makes this app super special and unique! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwVR0qN0EjY&list=UUzu2npjnVhPdxyW-52yMlQA The app is on the play store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nebulights.android The app runs the ldp8806 RGB LED strips, and uses the SPI api over pins 27/28 for the clock/data. If anyone out there has the hardware required you can try it out! I went a step further though and working with Jaycon Systems, had the board modified to suit the needs of the project! It comes with a 5V DC jack for power, and a 4pin JST output to send to the lights, and we made it a little smaller to be more suited to wearables. They have been wonderful to work with, and helped make this project go from something I hacked together, to a real product I can sell. A special thanks to Jay and his team! I had the cases made by Envison Plastics and Design, also great people. Below are the assembled units http://imgur.com/qjKhiZQ http://imgur.com/QVCYMZG The app itself has three key parts. 1. You can play patterns on the lights 2. You can design your own patterns 3. You can share your patterns with people over the internet, and within the app itself via the Featured Pattern section (which will be greatly expanded on in the future) It's been quite a journey getting this made. It started with a pretty out there idea to want to make something fun and funky. I didn't know what I was doing when I started, but with these forums early on, and a lot of perseverance it happened! I want to give a special thanks to Ytai, He helped me early on with various problems I was having. What you've made for us to work with is amazing, and the support you offer invaluable. You haven't heard the last from me ;) Thank you! Any questions or feedback I'd love to hear it all.
