pi-light

Led light prototype with RasperryPi and Sense Hat

Color temperature

Algorithm

Bill of materials

The lists the parts needed to build set it up.

To get samples working

Part Quantity Notes
RaspberryPi 1 I used RaspberryPi Zero W but any version compatible with SenseHat will work
Sense Hat 1 Official Sense Hat page
Micro SD Card 1 Minimum 8GB. I wasted time with cheap cards, learned my lessons, and now recommend getting a proper card
Micro USB Cable 1 If you power it from a USB port
Micro USB Power Supply 1 If you power it independently you can use an official 2.5A Power Supply

Optional

Part Quantity Notes
Case 1 With 40 GPIO cut-out, the official case is great, but I enjoy looking at the board and using an acrylic case
Smartphone clamp with 1/4" socket 1 I'm using Manfrotto PIXI but there are alternatives - just make sure they can clamp at around a case; For me it was ~6.5cm for the acrylic or ~7.5cm for the official one.
Desktop tripod with 1/4" screw 1 I'm using a tripod that comes with Logi C920
