Green Space Dark Skies – Unboxed Festival

Consultancy and redevelopment of battery powered lighting fixture firmware and network architecture for use with the Green Space Dark Skies project

  • Design of Geolight firmware supporting a selection of both dynamic and static colour modes
  • RTK GNSS radios allow the Geolight to provide it’s location with an accuracy of 5cm
  • WiFi connectivity with an emphasis on optimised network design, allowing up to 750 lights to connect simultaneously. This allows each fixture to transmit stats including location and battery charge
  • Custom plugin developed externally for Stage Precision injested Geolight location, allowing real time pixel maps as the fixtures move around a landscape
  • Further dynamic colour update modes supported through Artnet and wDMX
  • Over the air updates through WiFi allow easy fleet updating
  • Personal input from experience working in the lighting industry to make the firmware as easy to use as possible whilst in the field

The Geolights have continued a legacy in a multitude of Walk the Plank projects: see here
