Now that the electronic setup was done, it was time to solder everything up and build an enclosure for it. From the beginning I knew I would use wood and a laser cutter to achieve the precise form I wanted (You can find the template for the laser cutter on the code repository below). At first I decided I would have:
– An OLED screen to display the data
– Three potentiometers/knobs to control each parameter.
– An LED to indicate connection
– An ON/OFF button
– A Neopixel ring which would preview the light’s state on the controller.
However, after tinkering for a while trying to find the color ranges on the Phillips hue and how I could translate these values on to the Neopixel ring, I decided to dispose of the feature due to time constraints.
