Tree Colour Magic – Arduino Shield

Design and assembly of an Arduino Shield for Tine Bech Studios, to simplify the on-site setup of her lighting installations.

  • 3.5mm audio jacks replaced the use of screw terminals, allowing easier setup in cold climates
  • Jumpers allow both open-collector and push-pull sensors to be used
  • Input protection through the use of resettable fuses and ESD diodes allow use in wet climates
  • Per-sensor LED indication allow detection of malfunctioning sensors
  • DMX output capability to connect to standard lighting fixtures and smoke machines
