The New Face of Lumina Inova

Check out our new Logo -Let us know what you think. 

ButtonDuino - The Microsize Breadboard Mountable Arduino

ButtonDuino - Button Sized Arduino, smaller than a quarter. 
New PCBS have arrived. Will be populated and tested soon. This tiny sized arduino has most of the functionallity of a normal arduino but can be expanded with add on shields-coming soon. The headers are sized so that they can be mounted on a breadboard. 

These boards will be priced between $8.9 to $9.9. Stay tuned for more Info.

Auto-Calibration in Action

These are some of the pictures of how the panel auto-calibrates when a translucent glass is place above the sensors.



Specifications of the Interactive LED Panels

Introduction

The Interactive LED Panels are Open Source modules which illuminate when an object or hand passes over the self calibrating infra-red sensors. The LEDs then fade according to a pre-set pattern which can be programmed using the Arduino IDE. 

Applications 

Applications of these Panels are as follows:
  • Interactive Bar tables
  • Interactive Home tables
  • Stairs that light up at night
  • Music Interface
  • Dance Floors
Patterns

Modes that are Included:

  • Ripple
  • Slow Fade
  • Reverse Fade
  • Sparkle
  • Instant 
  • Instant (fast)
Specifications

  • Power requirements per board:  5V, 120mA / Consumes almost nothing when LEDs are all off.
  • Maximum Number of interconnected boards per power supply: 8 Boards
  • Maximum Number of interconnected boards:  1000+ Boards
  • Maximum Current per 8 boards:  3 Amps
  • Maximum Infra-red Sensor Distance: 20-25 cm  
  • Software IDE: Arduino
  • LED Type: SMD and Through Hole 
  • Can work through Translucent/frosted Glass (Auto Calibrating)
Other Info

Panels are in the beta stage. With enough funding, boards will be sold as a complete product as well be implemented into furniture to make them interactive.
