I am using many sensors in this project and I am not really happy with the sensitivity of them. TEMT6000 Problem: This sensor should get the value of the light similar to the human eye. The output goes from 0V (night) to 5V (direct sun light). In a room, if some clouds are present, the outputRead more about Sensor hacks[…]
Finally, I placed all 60 WS2812B LEDS and also 200 Fiber glasses. Here 2 videos (rainbow and night effect): I was able to place also the sound sensor (double clap to activate sky), the IR-sensor to control the sky over the IR remote and a light sensor to see if it is day or not.Read more about Sky is finished![…]
After 2 weeks of vacation in Kreta and soldering the last LEDs, I am glad to say: “all 60 LEDs are connected!”. Here a video of the current sky with the 3 programmed animations: night, day/rainbow, rain. The app to control the sky is on the Windows Store: Download App There are 10 LEDs reservedRead more about Sky 99%[…]
After a lot of days, searching the best way to fix the “stars” and connect them together, I was able to connect successfully the Arduino with the rest. If you point the welder to the Polystyrol, it melt without need to touch it. After making a hole of about 0,5cm I used a small hotRead more about 50% of the sky[…]
After soldering over 30 SMD LEDs for the sky and the first platine, I made some tests to see if everything was connected right. Yes! Everything is perfect! I can hear the music and I am able to connect to the BT device with my phone! Now I need only to wait for the lastRead more about Some tests[…]

How to create a lighted cloud? The net can help and once you search for it you find some fantastic projects! Simple one: http://en.zockme.com/how-to-make-a-diy-cloud-lamp-with-stuff-you-can-find-in-your-house/ or: http://doityourselfhub.com/do-it-yourself-lamp-in-the-form-of-a-cloud-video/ A better one: http://www.ufunk.net/design/the-cloud/ I will try to create something like this one. Should not be impossible 😀 1. Create the framework Take a PET water bottle, cut both sides toRead more about The cloud (the real one, not the virtual one) – step 1[…]
The first thing is to create a sky plate where I can add my LEDs and electronic components. I used styrofoam plates and some wood stakes to fix them. To append it to the ceiling, I used 4 screws and a cable system: The entire sky is 4,5m x 1m (seems small butRead more about Sky – no electronics yet[…]
After playing a lot with Arduino and LED strips (WS2812b) I decided to create a sky plate for my baby. Arduino is now the BEST microcontroller you can find on the market to drive simple sensors. So what can I ask to do at my 10$-Arduino? Attach 4-5 clouds on the sky, each with 60Read more about The project[…]
