Lamp Control

A simple Arduino program to act as a simple PWM controller, supporting a rotary encoder (with button) to control power and brightness.

Setup

(Images coming soon!)

This project requires the following supporting hardware;

• Arduino (I tend to use the Pro Mini in lamps, as they are incredibly compact and fit easily inside projects)
• RFP30N06LE MOSFET (I like the ones that include a PCB)
• EC11 Rotary Encoder
• LEDs (strip, panel, individual, your choice)
• DC Power Supply (note you'll probably want a buck converter if your supply is more than +5V)
• (optional) Buck Converter (if using a power supply >5V)
• (optional) DC barrel jack

Assembled correctly, the above parts paired with the included code, *edited to ensure the pin definitions are the same as the pins wired to hardware, should create a lamp that is easy to use with simple, responsive control.

Features

• Easy to assemble, easy to modify code (to support assembly in any orientation)
• Fine-grained brightness control, tapering on and off near minimum and maximum brightness
• Push-button on/off control
• Supports LEDs of any voltage (when using a buck converter on your Arduino)

Notes

Code is sloppy as hell and really needs some re-working with regards to button functionality (as it currently relies on EZButton and additional dependencies are annoying as hell IMO)
