LuMieres

For this project, I am going to put up some lights in my room. I am going to control them with an IR remote, I will have different modes where the lights do different patterns. So I will have the light respond to the luminosity in the room, i initially tried to have them respond to a loud clap, or music or have them respond to light sensor.

Neopixels, poster strip, IR remote, Arduino UNO, 5V power source

First thing I did was to put poster strip on the wall. This process was a tedious task but it will help have the loght stay on the wall without messing up the paint on the walls.

Never used an IR remote, so at first the receiver for my IR remote was not working so I had to get another one. Once I figure out the receiver it was time to actually have this remote working. Since I have never used this remote before I had to download the library first and find a practice code. When there is code in we can check it used by asking the serial monitor to print different things as we press different button.

Find a nice pattern to provide great energy inside of my room. I had different functions for all these different patterns, then with a switch case I can call these different functions for each button I press.
