version 1.0

Saurabh Vyas

Quanto Dynamic Lamp (QDL) is a simple but dynamic tool created using .net (visual basic .net
2010 express edition) It can drive your lamp at different colors as you control them lamp using 
the front end , It integrates power of  .net technologies with open source arduino board 
(micrcontroller) 

Made Using Microsoft Visual Basic .net 2010 express edition
Hardware : Opensource Arduino Board - Arduino Leonardo (www.arduino.cc)

The background image is of ubuntu and icons are from iconsarchive 
(I just want to make sure i give them credit)

Features

1. Lamp Fading 
2. Lamp Blinking 
3. Change Lamp color to any rgb code 
4. Random Colors
5. Change Lamp color by parameters such as 
    time

Some Important things to Note

No rgb led is perfect in the sense no rgb led can display exact acurate rgb code value because
rgb leds are itself consisting of three sub leds (red,green and blue) and final color is produced
by mixing these constituent colors and then diffused degree of viewing and diffusion also 
matters

Lamp Brightness is only for 3 colors (red green and blue ) because other colors are formed my mixing
of these 3 colors and if we change brightness new color will be formed .


This program uses windows vista voice recognition technology (system.speech namespace)
So the computer would give appropriate results only if you train it well to understand you
( the user) The training can be done by going to control panel and speech recognition 

The Lamp will keep doing what it was last configured for like if the current color is red and you did not
switch off the lamp through software and you turn off your computer then the lamp will keep glowing red 
because the arduino is still getting power via usb (although computer is off ) 

Thank You for trying out !
