LED WI-FI CONTROLLER

Project Details

Title: LED WI-FI CONTROLLER

Class: Advance Embedded Software Development

Semester: Spring 2021

Teammates: Jiabin Lin, Steve Rizor

Overview:

The goal of this project is to develop a working prototype for outdoor LED lighting using addressable LEDs attached to multiple devices, with remote control using WiFi. The motivation behind the project is to delve into several dependent topics (buildroot, socket communication, remote control, boot time optimization, etc), as well as to end with a functional product for actual use. The high-level system design is as follows:

• Each Raspberry Pi will be connected to an addressable LED string. Using the open-source rpi_ws281x project, the service can control the LEDs over SPI (or GPIO).

• Each Raspberry Pi will run a service for remote control, such that all devices configure the addressable LED patterns at the same time.

• Each Raspberry Pi will use the Azure IoT framework, connecting the service to the Azure back-end, and honoring any commands received as a remote control interface.
