FauxLightWindow

Designed to emulate the sun in a windowless space.

  • Uses GPS to determine your location and time in order to calculate luminosity at that location.
  • Electronics implement flickerless dimming of LEDs through a controllable constant current buck converter

Questions

How big is the LightingBoard PCB?

It measures 50 × 45 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the LightingBoard use?

70 parts, built around the AVR32DD20-E/REB, LMR33630ADDA, XC6206P502MR and XRCGB32M000F1S2KR0. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the LightingBoard KiCad files?

From the Champers5000/FauxLightWindow repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is LightingBoard/LightingBoard.kicad_pcb and its schematic LightingBoard/CurrentControl.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the LightingBoard design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Champers5000 before reusing the design.
