/diy/ - Do It Yourself

[Making the CPU shut the fuck u(...) No.745315]

Allright diy i have been lighthing up every single forniture in my house like pic related (the entire strip is in series several holes were done to the furniture) using led light strips what im looking for now to take it to the next level,

[Making the CPU shut the fuck u(...) No.745316]

USING 1 power supply, and 1 led strip that has been cut in several, and reed switches, i want to light up my entire kitchen cabinets however, not in series like the 1st pic,

if i open one door only the segment inside that door should light up

if i go to open another door that segment should turn on

if i open all the doors all should light up

how can i archive this without pulling 50 wires around the kitchen?

and yeah im also fixing that broken crystal

Don't be such a prick.

OP get crackin with arduino's and learn how proximity sensors work so you can have specific LED strips light for specific sensor related moments. Let's say your cabinets and whatever else you have light on, will actually light up as people walk past them, creating path (what we in architecture get rock solid hard for) and presenting the interior or your house in a more cinematic way. Imagine walking through a garden lit one by one with lanterns except now we are working inside on a home where there are many new original elements to work with in terms of how things can be lighted and in what order with what sensors and switches. THEN, that is a next level.

Seems like this would be a LOT easier to do mechanically... no? Like just pressure switches that complete the circuit when depressed.

With arduinos, it will be more work, but you can become extremely organized with each individual lighted unit.

There is no fucking point to anything digital in this. Jesus, you arduinofags are the worst.

thanks mate I figured I would be disrespectful and help this poor fuck out on /diy/ considering no one wanted to say anything.

---> = "consider themselves superior to"

{"People who use discrete components" --> "People who use arduonos" --> "People who use Raspberry Pis" --> "People who use computers"} <--> "People who use whatever gets the job done at an acceptable cost, including TCO and a reasonable hourly rate"

[Anonymous No.745469]

now now, switches is one way, arduino is another, there is no right or wrong, stop arguing

but in practice there really is little to no reason to go digital with something of this nature

CPU don't make sound

use ear plug

You do not need to run 50 wires. Just run one positive and one negative line, and put a light and magnetic switch between the two, for each door.

You could run a third line for "turn everything on." Just add a resistor at each light/switch pair so either the switch or all-on switch can complete the circuit without shorting.
