Dear All,

              This Road Test was my start up point in the world of IoT, I never worked on any thin IoT before this, I worked and have learned many new things because of this road test, thanks to Element14 for this opportunity.


As I wrote in my application for the road test that " I wanted to work on a Smartphone Lighting System ",  my main aim was do do something related to IoT, but is should also be easy to understand for every one even beginners, I also wanted to do the same task via at least 3 methods so that the anyone can choose and make this thing for themselves, and enjoy electronics.


So here are my three methods.


1). Via IR Remote : This method is the most budget friendly of all my three methods, I wanted to make this because it's light on the pocket, easy to make and easy to use for an entire family, every one knows how to press buttons on a remote. The hardware required is an Arduino, Infineon RGB shield, RGB LED strip, TSOP1738, a IR Remote and power supplies. 

The complete description and codes can be found on my blog Post HERE.

2). Via Bluetooth :  Bluetooth was my second choice, because it's easy to use, and ever smartphone Bluetooth, and also because every thing is better with Bluetooth ( According to Dr. Sheldon Cooper image ). The hardware required is an Arduino, Infineon RGB shield, RGB LED strip, HC-06 or HC-05 Bluetooth module, A android or Windows smartphone and power supplies. The complete description and codes can be found on my blog Post HERE.

3). Via A Web Browser :  My final choice was to make it work with a web browser, as it was my First IoT project I didn't wanted to make it very complicated. It's not that hard to make once you get the hold of it, it's not that simple if it's your first IoT project, But fortunately Arduino has good examples in the " Bridge " library, those examples helped me allot. This method will work for both PCs and Phones/Tablets. I made a special HTML app for this purpose. The hardware required is an Arduino YUN, Infineon RGB shield, RGB LED strip and power supplies. The complete description and codes can be found on my blog Post HERE.

So these were the three methods I used to accomplish a simple task of changing the colors of a RGB LED strip.

It was a great learning experience for me so thanks again for this opportunity for me, and I got to compete with some of the most talented People and work with awesome hardware i.e. Arduino YUN and Infineon RGB shield. It was my First IoT project so please do forgive if I made any silly mistakes... image
