The project involves creating four floor lamps with LED strips that react to sound from a microphone. The lamps are wirelessly controlled and can be placed in each corner of a room. Each lamp consists of an aluminum channel with an LED strip, acrylic glass for diffusion, and a wooden base. The electronics include a WEMOS D1 MINI wifi board, a power supply, and a microphone module. The microphone module is connected to a WiFi board and can send audio data to the lamps, which then display different colors based on the sound. The project also includes a controller with a push-button to change the lamp's mode of operation.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. Hansi is revisiting a project called the Music Reactive Desk Lamp from two years ago.
2. The project involves creating a room with four floor lamps in each corner that react to sound from speakers.
3. The sound is detected by a portable microphone that transmits signals to the lamps wirelessly.
4. The lamps have LED strips that react to the sound signals.
5. Hansi uses aluminum channels and acrylic glass to diffuse the light from the LED strips.
6. The acrylic glass is sanded to create a more diffused light.
7. Hansi uses an individual addressable RGB strip with 144 LEDs per meter.
8. The LED strip is secured to the aluminum channel using adhesive and hot glue.
9. The lamp base is made from a slab of Oak wood.
10. The Oak wood is cut into smaller strips and glued together to form a block.
11. The block is hollowed out to make room for the electronics.
12. Hansi uses a WEMOS D1 MINI WiFi board to control the lamps wirelessly.
13. The WiFi board is connected to the LED strip and a power source.
14. Hansi uses a microphone module to provide audio data to the lamps.
15. The microphone module is connected to a NodeMCU WiFi module.
16. The project uses a 40-watt 5-volt power supply to power the LED strips.
17. The power supply is connected to the WiFi board and the LED strip.
18. Hansi uses epoxy glue to secure the LED strip to the aluminum channel.
19. The project involves uploading code to the WiFi board and the lamps.
20. The code allows the lamps to react to sound data from the microphone module.
21. The lamps can be controlled wirelessly using a smartphone app.
22. The project uses Express VPN to secure the WiFi connection.
23. Express VPN is a VPN service that encrypts internet traffic.
24. The project is sponsored by Express VPN.
