WEEK OF 9/27

This week, I started a new project and worked on my raspberry pi. After accidentally breaking my RPI SD card last week, I finally reinstalled Linux and all of the programs and software on it that I could remember having (for ex. python, OpenCV, scripts).

As for the new project I started, I am making a universal LED strip controller that can be used wirelessly. The controller consists of a micro controller, Adafruit trellis i2c keypad, and an OLED display. Using the keypad you will be able to change the amount of RGB from 0-255 with a button to increase or decrease each color independently. There will also be a single power button for on/off functions and a button to increase or decrease brightness. The OLED display is going to output variables like "R" "G" and "BRIGHTNESS" with the respective value for each being displayed next to it. I have started the code by modifying and adding to the example code found in the library for it. I am going to need to make another receiver device with a separate microcontroller that will be receiving the values through infrared sent out from the light controller.
