For my final project, I want to make a versatile lamp.
A light source that can keep resultant light on a surface constant irrespective of external daylight.
Also, to add some mechanics and automation, make the form versatile to change it from being indirect light, ambient and a task light whenever required.
####PLAN:
CAD - to make a 3D model, animation and render.
Inputs - light sensors to measure light colour, temperature and illuminance
Output - Multicolor LED to change output to match resultant light
CAM - to make the form/packaging
3D printing - joints or unusual Parts
Network and Communication - Automate it to customise function
Electronic design, production and embedded programming - To make a specific PCB
Interface and Application programming - To make a phone app to as an Interface
* What does it do?
The lamp provides exactly the same amount of light all the time.
It changes it's output light intensity based on external light conditions to provide uniform light on a target surface.
It has a versatile form that allows it to be either an indirect light that reflects off of the ceiling, ambient light that illuminates all surroundings or a task light that lights up a desk surface.
* Who's done what beforehand?
The origami of the [Meduse Lamp](http://sdipl.net/slimsSRL/LoadSRLReport.aspx?CID=2110088069&UMR_NO=177803294956&HV=True) helps transform the type of lamp.
* What did you design?
* What materials and components were used?
Electronics:
1. VEML6040 RGB light sensor (input)
2. RGB LED (output)
3.
* Where did they come from?
* How much did they cost?
* What parts and systems were made?
* What processes were used?
* What questions were answered?
* What worked? What didn't?
* How was it evaluated?
* What are the implications?
