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.
The second version is currently worked on for OHM2013..
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
andon 1.0
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.
Here is the current Arduino source code:

andon 2.0
Currently being worked on..
It should:
- do on-board MIDI
- store thresholds on the internal ROM
- work stand-alone
- File:Andon 2.0 Working prototype.mov (what is this upload i dont even?!)
todo
- publish both PC c++ midi-to-serial-instructions code as well as the arduino source
- read values from EEPROM
- store values to EEPROM
- add relay that can switch outlet power
