Introducing Lumapad, the first Open Source, LED Light Pad with Electric IMP WiFi, Atmel AVR and Arduino.
For iOS, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux.
Kickstarter Video
Shooting the Kickstarter video was hard work to say the least. It took a great deal of practice but it is now over with and in the process of editing.
Simple programming tutorial
This is a very basic tutorial written in Bascom and programmed via Atmel AVR Studio Pro. I have been using Basom for many years and really like it. The Lumapad firmware can also be written in Arduino, C/C+ or HEX. The Lumapad is designed to be compatible with pretty much all the programming choices out ...
Shooting the Lumapad product photos
I am close to launching the Kickstarter project for the Lumpad. Set up the lights today with the backdrop and tried to get some nice shots.
Electric IMP WiFi with Arduino (Atmel) Controller
One of the coolest features of Lumapad is the integration of WiFi via the Electric IMP modules which is the size of an SD card.
Removable cooling fan and many unique features.
Initial testing seems to indicate that a fan may not be needed. For applications where excess heat is still a concern, the Lumapad has a computer controlled cooling fan that can easily be removed.
Lumapad Circuit Board available as a “kit”
For those of you that are interested in experimenting with the latest in LED technology, the Lumapad circuit board is available in “kit” form as a fully assembled board with all electronics as shown. You will need to provide your own enclosure and/or cooling fan.
3D Printed Prototype
Here is a 3D printed prototype of the Lumapad. It was important to make sure everything fit before machining some real prototypes out of metal.
- Ultra Bright 8000 lumen output via 32 individual CREE LEDs.
- 6400 Kelvin (bright white daylight) color temperature.
- Dual color temperature LEDs available (6400K / 3200K 16 per channel).
- WiFi enabled via the Electric IMP SD card module.
- User programmable Arduino (Atmel) compatible micro controller.
- Dual channel PWM dimming circuits with an analog dimmer.
- Up, Down and Mode buttons are user programmable.
- Adjustable light stand mount included.
- Draws only 88 watts at full power.
- Fan and temperature control circuitry built in.
- 6 3/4 inches (171mm)L X 4 1/2 inches (114mm)H X 1 inch (25mm)W
- 120 / 240 VAC Power adapter (USA, EU, UK, Asia and everywhere else)
- Lower cost 16 LED, 4000 Lumen model will also be available.
- Can be powered by standard 12 - 24 Volt DC battery packs too!
