  Program

  • Download the code here.
  • Open the project using Workshop 4. This project uses the Visi Environment.
  • The project can be improved by expanding the number of light nodes. To control additional light nodes, declare a new PWM pin and pull-down pin then set the pins as output.

  • Add a new button and slider widgets from the widget ribbon and make sure to paste the code on the editor.

  • Inside the “touchState == TOUCH_PRESSED” and “touchState == TOUCH_MOVING” condition, add a new condition for the new button and slider.

  • In adjusting the brightness using PWM, use the value of the current frame of the attached slider as the PWM output. Note: the circuit used is only limited to DC-Powered lighting devices.

   

  • You may also change the background image and the widgets in this project.
