I added a brief project overview of the OSGi middleware for building automation systems I developed as part of my bachelor’s thesis. Check it out 😉 Service Middleware for Building Automation Systems

I’m working on an automated room lighting system similar to the Philips Hue product line and so far already have LED strips and spot lights with single 3W RGB power LEDs running. What I also want to add is a remote-controlled wake-up light just like those from Philips. My sister got one for Christmas. I […]
This week is Gamescom week! The games convention in Cologne is going to be open for five days from coming Wednesday, 5th August, till Sunday, 9th August, and I’m excited to be there with my university’s project group ExcitingErgoRides! We’ll present the result of our one-year project work, where we’ve been working on a physical virtual reality […]
Finally reached a big milestone by dynamically fading a wireless RGB light node on an Arduino between two arbitrary colours! The Arduino is connected to a Raspberry Pi over a nRF24L01+ transceiver connection. Over a web app the RPi is sent the new colour to fade to and calculates the required fading data like the […]
Update 21. February 2017 Since publishing this post, the RF24 library got updated a lot! A significant change was making the boost python wrapper compatible with Python 3. So the RF24 library now works on system with Python 3 out of the box without any funky hacks! If you want to use the RF24Mesh extension […]
So I shifted my priorities away from just a ‘boring’ sunrise lamp and am now working towards my very own vision of a powerful extensible ambient lighting system. The project has three major construction sites: a client application which lets the end-user control his light system; the RGB lamp hardware and its electronic circuitry; and last but not least, […]
