We are refurbishing on a 1/2 inch to the foot scale model of the Little Theater at Midland Center for the Arts (Midland, MI). I’m working on a stage lighting model. The basic components are:
- 3D printed lighting instruments with 5050 Neopixels
- A lighting controller based around a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller
The functionality is:
- Eight programmable channels ( possibly with multiple instruments)
- In program mode, each channel can be adjusted for hue and brightness
- In run mode, a master dimmer controls all the channels from black to maximum brightness for the channel
- Presets and can be stored and recalled.
At this point I have eight instruments printed and assembled, and basic program and run mode working.
Next, I need more instruments and the programming for presets.
