To get started you'll need a box to put the electronic components in and feed the light through. I had some left over cherry wood and red oak wood that I used to make the box. I used a single square piece of cherry for the top, which ended up being about 4.5 inches x 4.5 inches and 1.25 inches thick. Then I used mitered pieces of red oak wood to add a section the electronic components will be in. Those pieces were about 4.5 inches long, 1 inch thick, and 2 inches wide. If I were to do this again, I would certainly make the red oak thinner so that the electronic components had more space to fit. After cutting the pieces I sanded them down and drilled a hole for the ws2811 led using a 1/2 inch drill bit. Then I finished them with Mahoney's walnut oil.

This is the time to solder up the circuit. Each light has a raspberry pi zero, a ws2811 led, a push button, and a resistor. One circuit is used to control the ws2811 led, while the other is used to check for user input. The ws2811 led circuit is a simple one that uses the ground, 5v, and pwm pins of the raspberry pi to control the led. The user input circuit has a current limiting resistor and a push button that is used to switch the voltage on and off from a raspberry pi input pin.

Figure. 2 Light reflection from a) smooth surface (specular reflection ) and b) rough surface (diffuse reflection). In both cases the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection at the point that the light ray strikes the surface.

I made long distance synchronized lights known as "Best Friend" lamps. That just means that they are kept in sync to the current color of the other lamp. So if you were to change one lamp green, shortly after the other lamp would turn green. This is a very easy raspberry pi project that anyone can jump into and uses a lot of really basic concepts that are great to build upon.

Refraction of light

All reflected light obeys the relationship that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Just as images are reflected from the surface of a mirror, light reflected from a smooth water surface also produced a clear image. We call the reflection from a smooth, mirror-like surface specular (as shown in Figure 2a). When the surface of water is wind-blown and irregular, the rays of light are reflected in many directions. The law of reflection is still obeyed, but the incident rays (Fig. 2b) strike different regions which are inclined at different angles to each other. Consequently, the outgoing rays are reflected at many different angles and the image is disrupted. Reflection from such a rough surface is called diffuse reflection and appears matte.

Each pi is running the same program. This program checks when the push button is pressed, and if so, changes the color. It then sends a message to a web server that tracks the current color. Every 5 seconds this program also checks the current color from the web server and if that color is different than the current color of the lamp, it changes to that color. This is how they are kept in sync. So if you change the color to red on one lamp, that lamp will tell the web server that the current color is red, the other lamp will check the web server in 5 seconds and see that the current color is red and subsequently change to that color. The web server I used was hosted on one of the pis since I was using it within the same network, but you could easily run this server on any public server and the lamps would work across continents.

Light is also reflected when it is incident on a surface or interface between two different materials such as the surface between air and water, or glass and water. Each time a ray of light strikes a boundary between two materials - air/glass or glass/water - some of the light is reflected. The laws of reflection are obeyed at all interfaces. The amount of reflected light at the interface depends on the differences in refraction between the two adjoining materials.

Now you can run the program on the command line by checking the readme in the previous repos, run the server following the readme, and see it in action!

Reflection, refraction diffraction

This would be a great project to run during quarantine since you can't be close together all the time, and it can be used within the same home to signify if you are in a meeting or other important event.

This law describes the moment when light waves hit a surface, change their direction and come back only at a different angle.

After the base was made I started to make the diffusion block which will be used to spread out the light from the ws2811 led. To do this I cut rectangular pieces out of acrylic and then sanded the acrylic to make it really blurry. This will allow the light from the led to spread out and illuminate more. I then used hot glue to secure the structure

What is it about objects that let us see them? Why do we see the road, or a pen, or a best friend? If an object does not emit its own light (which accounts for most objects in the world), it must reflect light in order to be seen. The walls in the room that you are in do not emit their own light; they reflect the light from the ceiling "lights" overhead. Polished metal surfaces reflect light much like the silver layer on the back side of glass mirrors. A beam of light incident on the metal surface is reflected.

Reflection involves two rays - an incoming or incident ray and an outgoing or reflected ray. In Figure 1 we use a single line to illustrate a light ray reflected from the surface. The law of reflection requires that two rays are at identical angles but on opposite sides of the normal which is an imaginary line (dashed in Fig. 1) at right angles to the mirror located at the point where the rays meet. We show in Fig. 1 that the angles of incidence i and reflection i' are equal by joining the two angles with an equal sign.
