My desk does not have any natural lighting and I had the idea of adding edge lighting to the desk and controlling it with a pi. that way I can get a sense of the passage of time by the changing color. I have a file with different colors and times, and I wrote a program that slowly transitions between them.
Morning
Mid day
evening
Later I added functionality to add layers. basically you can select an area and have special functionality there. I have implemented 2 types of layers.
- A clock with calendar integration. so a segment has a little white dot that moves thru the day, if I have meeting it will show them as dimmed segments. and 30 seconds before a meeting the whole strip will flash red (this is the thing that I like the most honestly.)
Calendar
Alarm - A pomodoro clock. following the pomodoro technique pattern
I control the system via a REST API (I use it mostly to update the session token for the calendar).
Here is the repo with all the code
