synopsis
An andon light is a color-coded visual display for process state control; in short: On-Air light
The first version is completed, and used in the Binary Voice studio at the CCC2011.
It is now located in the space as mood-light
implementation
I used a light tower/andon light which a good friend Spert modified to fit 6 leds in it.
prototype
Since the media plugin doesn't work, you have to open the file manually: Media:andon_prototype.mov
first version
The first version listens on a serial port and change the lights depending on the data it receives. On the PC, an application listens to the midi signals and above certain channel thresholds, it will send out the correct signal data over the serial port.
future version(s)
Create an andon light which has a MIDI port on-board where all the logic is inside the Arduino/AVR with channel thresholds on the internal ROM.
todo
- publish both PC c++ midi-to-serial-instructions code as well as the arduino source
