Smart LED Table
Created on 31 Oct 2018
A smart table that reacts to your environment and house appliances
We're building an arduino-based smart table that uses a variety of environmental sensors (pressure, touch, light, sound and vibration) to control a series of LED strips around the outside of the coffee table. It will also serve as a mainframe for connecting and displaying the status of other appliances around the house.
