Project: Sunrise Simulation Lamp

Gets the next upcoming sunrise from a sunrise API, then triggers an Adafruit Neopixel to begin a sunrise simulation sequence, going from dim and deep red to bright and white. Includes the STL for a 3D printed bulb enclosure and mounting plate for the Neopixel (using translucent PETG).

Step 1: Installation

Please describe the steps to install this project.

Adjust your desired sunrise sequence using the file sunrise.ino.
Once you have something you like, copy it into sunrise-on-time.ino.

Step 2: Assemble the circuit

The sketch expects the DATA IN for the Neopixel to be connected to pin 6 on the Arduino. The clock needs to be connected to corresponding pins on the Arduino (SDA to SDA, SCL to SCL).

Step 3: Load the code

Upload the code contained in this sketch on to your board
