| Project Group Members: Michael Miwa (miwa2), Thomas Winter (tmwinte2), Abizer Daud (adaud2) Project Description: Our project is to create a portable, programmable 2D LED array to be used in photography for Rick Kessinger. The programmability of the LED array will include: gradient variation throughout entire 2D array, color temperature variation, and adjustable brightness; all adjusted via controls on the light itself and a mobile phone app. The concept of a programmable 2D LED array is not, by itself, a new invention, but for the application is more unique. Our goal is to replace the bulky, expensive studio lights used in photography and substitute our simple, compact design. Currently, the direct competition to our device is a non-programmable 2D LED array which provides much less functionality, and is not portable. High-level Overview: The 2D LED array will be provided with an analog input to control the current (and therefore the light emitted)of each LED in the array. This current signal will be sent from a central processing unit taking input directly from the user sent over bluetooth from a phone application that we will create. The color temperature control will be implemented by using tri-color LEDs whose color temperature can be adjusted by altering the current through each of its inputs. To provide power and mobility we will include a rechargeable lithium ion battery. |
