KS2 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) HelloI am looking for a compact device that would power 5 LED bulbs. I would like the bulbs to be able to turn on by a switch, but if it detected a LACK of physical motion (accelerometer?) than it would flash the bulbs. would need a reset button as well.The wiring/bulbs enclosure will be of my design, I'm pretty much just looking for the circuit/logic board-device or combination of devices etc.Any ideas for something that is currently on the market that could be built with these features?ThanksKen Edited October 14, 2015 by KS2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Is this device going to be attached to someone (wearable?) or it will be in a distance from a person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) In this case i would recommend a microcontroller (programmable chip) that will continuously read an acceleration sensor in all three axes and if these values fall below a threshold for some time (you define it) the LEDs will flash. But to use a microcontroller, some knowledge of programming is required. The electronics part of this project is straightforward. Alternative you can think of an Arduino to power this project. That will make programming of the mcu more easy. Edited October 16, 2015 by admin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KS2 Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 helloThanks for the repy.after having done a bit of research as well those are my thoughts as well. I'm sure the programming is relatively simple for my needs and instead of beating myself over the head with th learning curve, I will just contract someobe to write the code.ThanksKen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
