CaseLights

CaseLights

CaseLights is an Arduino based RGB LED controller using a simple MOSFET setup. The lights are controlled with a Mac OS X Menu Bar App that can set static colors, animations, or visualize various computer status values using the included JSystemInfoKit.

Arduino Sketch

You could connect pretty much any hardware. I’m using a N-Channel MOSFET Setup with IRF530 and a 10-piece RGB LED strip as well as an UV light tube.

Mac OS X App

The CaseLights XCode project includes the JSystemInfoKit project from the submodule in this repository. Just run xcodebuild on the command line or open the project in XCode and click Run to start the App.
