Desk Lights |
Adapted from https://github.com/garyhtou/Desk-Lights
I am going to build a light setup in my room that can be controlled through a web app. I think it'll be really cool to have something my friends can interact w/ while we're on calls + I saw Elan Lee's demo during Hack Club's AMA with him and it was awesome! I've never built an application that interfaces with "the real world" so it'll be fun to try.
For the software, I will be using Firebase and React. For the hardware, I will be using a dev board and LED strip from Adafruit. I'll be following this guide from @garyhtou.
