xmas-box: Arduino/ioBridge internet controlled Christmas lights and music show
« on: November 30, 2009, 01:14:10 PM »
Ok...so it appears I'm not the only one with the ioBridge holiday spirit! Kudos to @nathanknz for his ioBridge Christmas light project!

So...I have been working hard since my last project (Halloween). The neighbors keep saying that they could not wait to see what I come up with for Christmas, so the pressure was on.  :o

So here is the result from some sleeples nights! The xmas-box! Check out my Instructable and don't forget to vote once the Christmas Contest starts.

Brilliant piece of work!

I noticed you are using the serial smart board. Do you require 2 way serial communication between the ioBridge and the Arduino?

Something I discovered after using the Serial Board, was that if you only need to send one way, then you don't need to use a Serial Board, but just send directly out from the digital output pin to the RX pin on the Arduino.

@nathanknz I do use the two-way serial communication between arduino and the serial board. It used to send the status of the current song being played (out) and to send light modes and queue songs (in)

@iobridge

And now engadget!!

The engadget crowd is hard to please but my main goal with the project is to be a WEB ENABLED device!!! thanks to ioBridge!

All, keep spreading the ioBridge brand!

Great job on the project.
You have inspired me to attempt something on a smaller scale and indoors.
I will post a link soon.
