color_mixing

Color_mixing is a project mainly written in Java, it's free.

A color mixer to create dynamic colored lighting with an arduino and three colored LEDs

h2. Color Mixing

This arduino sketch lets you create a constantly changing colored light. Give your arduino a red, green, and blue LED on pins 9, 10, and 11 respectively. If your LEDs differ from the strawhat LEDs I used, you may wish to tweak the max brightness values #defined as R_MAX, G_MAX, and B_MAX.

Once you've got it running, I recommend making a paper cube with one side missing, and filling it gently with crumpled tissue. Cover your LEDs with this box to get a diffuse glow.

This project was inspired by "Ladyada's arduino tutorial":http://www.ladyada.net/learn/arduino/index.html "lesson three":http://www.ladyada.net/learn/arduino/lesson3.html . It's very similar to the project at the end of the tutorial, but goes a bit further, using PWM to vary the brightness.
