Adding Remotely Controlled Headlights to Tricopter

 

Change of Plan for BLE LED Modules

Initial plan for my Illuminated Tricopter was to use three BLE LED modules from Texas Instruments to add some light effects to the existing Tricopter but I finally decided that I will use them differently - I will use them to provide some additional light to my living room. All signalling on my Tricopter will be done using WS2812B LED ring.

Last year, when I was redecorating my home, I prepared one tinted glass segment on one of my living room bookshelves. This glass segment seems to be perfect for adding remotely configurable lights.

 

Test run

For this to work properly, I will have to make some aluminium brackets that would accept the Texas Instruments LED modules and allow them to dissipate heat properly since these module get really hot when used at maximum power. However, for test run I will just avoid running them at maximum power. Modules are powered separately using phone chargers hidden behind furniture.

For control, I used the Android application described earlier.

I played with settings for a couple of minutes but I increased the speed of video to make it viewable. Enjoy!
