ArduinoRGBTable

A RGB-Table with 200 pixels, NES Controller support, Webinterface.

FEATURES

• Tablesize 120x60cm
• 10x20 RGB WS2812 LED MATRIX (6x6xm Pixelsize)
• Webinterface for control
• RTC
• NES Controller Support for Games
• Arduino DUE
• Massive construction so you can jump on
• API
• NIGHTMODE (switch on/off at specific times)

TABLE MODES

Each mode have several options to customise the color, speed,...

• RAINBOW
• CONSTANT COLOR
• RANDOM COLOR / PIXELS
• CLOCK
• SCROLLING TEXT (with numbers and special characters)
• RSS Display (required a RaspberryPi on SerialPort1 of the Ardino)
• TableInformationSystem (T.I.S) for display text/data from USB

GAMES

• SNAKE
• 2048
• PAINT
• SENSO
• PONG

PARTS

• 1 Arduino DUE
• 1 Arduino Ethernet Shield
• 1 RTC Module (DS3231 or DS1307)
• 200 WS2812 5mm RGB LEDs
• 2 NES Controller jack
• 5V 10A switching power supply
• 5V Fan
• 2 Relais
• 1 PCB Pushbutton
• 2 4 channel levelshifter (5V -> 3.3V)
• tons of wires for the leds (but you can buy pre wired leds, DO IT)
• luster terminals
• pcb board
• 1 120x60x10mm plywood ground plate (GROUND_PLATE)
• 1 120x60x3mm poplar wood plate for the leds (LED_PLATE)
• 1 120x60x8mm glass plate
• 1 120x60x3mm acrylic glass plate with 75% transparency
• plastic L profiles
• plastic I profiles
• 10x10mm [] wood profiles
• 30x5mm I wood profiles
• 4 table legs (height depend on your needs)
• alumninium plates for coverage the wood

TOOLS

• Drill 5mm, 8mm, 10mm
• Hotglue-Gun
• Soldering equipment
• Saw
• woodglue
• (torks) wood screws 20mm, 30mm
• tons of zipties

HARDWARE SETUP

• drill 200 holes with the 5mm drill into the LED_PLATE with 60mm distance to each other, to get the led matrix
• glue each of the 200 (connected led = one strip, DOUT -> DIN), into one hole of the LED_PLATE, fix it with hotglue
• mount pieces of the 10x10mm [] wood profiles unter the LED_PLATE for spacing
• drill holes into the GROUND_PLATEfor the led wires
• glue and screw the  LED_PLATE with the spacers on to the GROUND_PLATE
• mount the table leg plates on each corner of the GROUND_PLATE
• mount the power supply and the arduino (with rtc connected, relais, switch, nes controllers) under the GROUND_PLATE
• connect relais channel 1 beween power supply and VCC of the leds
• connect relais channel 2 beween power supply and  VCC of the fan
• connect the first led DIN through the levelshifter to the arduino
• place the L and I prfiles on top of the LED Plate so that it gives a matrix (see pictures)
• place the I 30x5mm wood profiles around the GROUND_PLATE/LED_PLATE to build the frame and glue/screw it
• mount/screw the table legs
• place the acrylic glass plate over the matrix
• place the glassplate over the matrix
• cover frame around the table with alumninium plate

SOFTWARE SETUP (simplyfied version)

For a long version, send me a message

• download the latest Arduino IDE
• download the webserver libary : https://github.com/sirleech/Webduino
• download the flash-storage libary : https://github.com/sebnil/DueFlashStorage
• download the latest sketch from this repo, located at /ARDUINO CODE/table_due_beta35_Websitetitel.txt
• set the pin config (line 9 - 16)
• flash the sketch to your arduino

USAGE

• connect a ethernet cable
• power it on
• the ip is shown at powering up
• connect to the ip of the table
• look at the settings section for timezone and other settings
• HAVE FUN

NOTE

At the first power on you must hold the pushbutton, to write the default config
