Reactive RGB LED table
A new challenge.
This type of lighting which reacts to items put on top of the table is not new thing. Also i searched a lot but i have never found it to buy on the internet shop or any store in my country. So i decided to make it by myself but it took a lot of time and patience to make but on the other hand i’m happy with the results. When i enter my room it always reminds me that i should never stop to dream, set goals and achieve them. You can find out more by reading below…
Idea.

The idea came up when i made my previous project with RGB LED 7×10 screen. So I searched a lot and found this idea so i asked myself, why not to make it by myself?

This table was made with a lot patience and took a lot of time. When i did other projects with RGB LEDs there was something i didn’t used so i just needed to buy another missing parts and tools: more wires, another type of LEDs, sensors, electronics..

Electronic part was made by using Arduino Mega board, AC-DC power supply unit, IR sensors, RGB LED NEOpixel strip, bluetooth module and a lof of wires.

Wood part was made from different thick plywoods, table legs was made from real wood. Everything was painted, used white and brown colors.

Program part was made with C++ programming language. Also to build android app and control colors of LED through Bluetooth connection i used MIT App Inventor, found some good information, recommendations, examples, some of them matched my setup so i adjusted what i needed and tested.

The result was better than i imagined because in the begining it looked that it will be not as nice as i wanted. I’m planning to improve the project. If you liked it or if you want to say something you can use a contact form.
