Project: LumiSign

A bluetooth enabled LED name sign
What is the lumiSign?

The LumiSign is a LED name sign that can be controlled using a mobile app (developed in flutter). The sign is made from an esp32-c3 microcontroller, two buttons and Neopixel led strip. It is stored in a custom designed 3D printed housing. The engraved plexiglass is used to diffuse the light from the led strip. The light reflects of the engraved surface, making it look like a real sign. The sign can be controlled using a mobile app, which allows you to change the color of the light and the brightness. But it can also be done with the buttons on the side of the sign

What did I do?

I made this sign together with Koen Vogel to see if we could make a bluetooth application with a piece of hardware. I worked mostly on the hardware side of the project, but I also helped making the flutter app. It was a fun challenge trying to make the esp32-c3 work with the flutter app. I learned a lot about the esp32-c3 and how bluetooth low energy works.
