Imagine…

… taking thousands of LEDs and…

  • Control them individually, with a webapp!

  • Add new effects and share them online

  • Use in tandem with other hardware or an external DMX universe

  • Program automatic shows to operate at specific times

  • React to ambient sound

  • See the status of your 3D printer or other component

  • Change everything, because it’s open source!

 

Introducing: IRA

A control system for LEDs and other lights that integrates with existing DMX systems that can scale easily, capable of driving thousands of lights in a wide variety of environments with tools available as a simple webapp!

All the effects are designed to accept a variety of parameters, such as speed, color(s), and any other parameters you want to control from the outside world!

And it’s awesome!

We’ve been using it in theatrical productions, for home decorations, and on small projects where a few controllable lights go a long way. We’ve even used it to show the status of our 3D printer!

 
 

We’ve even used it on a Christmas tree!

 
 

But it’s a little messy…

And we want to develop it into something easy to use by anyone, even if you don’t have electronic experience!

 

Cool! How can I help?
