Fun with IKEA lamp

Nothing special.
Nothing new.
It's just my own version of mood light with famous IKEA Mylonit lamp.

Step 1: Take it apart.

Leave bottle alone.
We are going to play with bulb socket.

It's "Merry-go-round of life" theme by Joe Hisaishi from anime "Howl's Moving Castle".

Hi... You made your 12F683 work as a 3 channel PWM.... I know the 683 has a CCP module with one PWM output. Did you create three PWM's in software ? because i don't get it. PIC12F683's CCP's PWM output is on pin 5 and you use pins 5-6-7 !

Yes, PWM is implemented in software so I can easy add channels and any pin can be used as output.

Hi, Can you upload some video how its work? Tomy

Wonderful Work! Congratulations!

Any chance you could update this? I've built it and it works really well, but the diagrams in the zip file and the ones in the instructable are different so I've no idea which way is 'right' for the hex you've supplied. Also, I'm assuming you used CCS C to write the program. Is that correct?

AP Digital light (author) in reply to TrukkleOct 26, 2008. 9:35 PM

I've build few projects with different types and quantity of LED but chip and firmware (HEX code) are the same for all configurations. Only difference is way to connect load to chip. Regular LED with working current up to 20 mA can be directly connected to output of microcontroller. High power LED or light strip should be driven by power transistor. ... Yes, I use CCS C in my projects.

Hi, Doing this lamp rgb fading?Can you post som short video ? Tomy

AP Digital light (author) in reply to tomySep 9, 2008. 9:09 PM

Yes, device is working in switching and fading modes. I added some comments for step 6. Funny thing is that despite I've built dozen of similar lamps I own none of them. I'll post video as soon as I breadboard device.

then im not a good geek

Thanks for comments.
Here's stuff you want:

schematic;
BOM;
HEX file;
source code for CCS C compiler;
schematic and PCB in EAGLE format.

i also hav one ccs c

Awesome. I was wondering the same thing as alois, can you post the schematics, because I can understand more simple ones (like this Instructable.) Great job! (added to favorites)
