Tried using a simple capacitor circuit to get the coming going on. Really not feeling it. I’d not a smooth transition, and me being a punk, it was backwards as well, add in it started bright and faded out…
I might revisit that idea, but it was far enough from what I was hoping to see that I’ll probably just look elsewhere. Even if I did it right, it works involve using a few components per pin just to have individual bottle control for more than six bottles. That sounds like a lot of work.
Tonight will probably be the great transistor attempt. Turn on a transistor with PWM on the arduino, to drive multiple LEDs at once. If that works too my liking, then I’ll just need to look at whether I want a more static look or a more crazed look. Knowing me, it will be more crazed. To do this I’ll have something like two out three LEDs per bottle, with each pin driving multiple LEDs. The overlap will men that individual bottles will pulse in and out, and possibly back in again before going down to out all the way. I’m not sure what that effect will be like. I’m considering trying to model that with Processing.
Peter's stuff.
