Luminch One

Current Status - Prototype working.

Project Aim
This part of a larger project to get started in electronics, arduino programming, basic woodwork and paper craft. This is essentially the Luminch One

The aim of this project is to create a device that
 * Uses IR to control a lamp
 * Runs off the mains like a lamp
 * Have a decent lampshade design so it can actually be used
 * Replace arduino with cheaper, more permanent alternative

Hardware

 * Any Arduino or compatible hardware
 * Super bright LED
 * IR distance sensor
 * Wood and Tracing paper

Prototypes
The link to the original design has better schematics then I can make but they are posted here for your convenience. http://guide-images.makeprojects.org/igi/XT1RxEV4fG1REIQd.huge - Fancy diagram http://guide-images.makeprojects.org/igi/yN6hDhGpK3SabvQT.huge - Schematic http://guide-images.makeprojects.org/igi/NKmoIMqNtKUTQp5D.huge - Photo of prototype

Software
As before the source code to control the lamp from the IR input is posted in the original link. https://fran-cc-blog.s3.amazonaws.com/luminch_one.zip - Arduino source code
