This project was created by Heidi on September 13th, 2016.

Goal is to fabricate a simple led strip and attach it at my bed's headboard. Purpose is to let it light up in warm white, matching sunlight. And to have it in such a position that it mimics the location where sunlight should come from. Not from the side (like a simple WakeUpLight) but from overhead.

Units

• DS1302 clock (not the best, but available)
• Arduino Nano
• Random LED and resistor units gathered by Renze
• One breadboard now useless!

And there was much rejoicing.

Help Heidi wherever you can and laugh at her when she fails.

Current plan (20-09-2016)

• four ledstrips similar to the ones Dave ordered for his police cap and which everyone (except Heidi) finds completely overkill for this project.
• attach two ledstrips to top of bedroom window, two strips to bottom of bedroom window
• slowly turn them on... because four of these amazing led strips will make you insane
• attach DS1302 realtime clock to Arduino Nano

• tell RTC to set one start date & time and keep counting
• Borrowed Dave's spare LED strip \o/ . WS-2812.

Future plan

• Knutsel the spare LED strip to the Arduino
• Light it up!
