Abstract
A light or sound system includes a plurality of control systems, and is configured so that the plurality of control systems are interconnected in a non-hierarchical mesh network. Further, the mesh wireless radio of a given control system has the capacity to signal nearby control systems, one or more control systems have a switch filter configured to permit hop signal rebroadcasting, and a plurality of light or sound producing devices are functionally connected to a plurality of field-effect transistor drivers of control systems interconnected in the mesh network.
Claims8
A control system comprising an electronic circuit having a wireless mesh radio, a microcontroller, a wireless short-range radio link unit, a plurality of field-effect transistor drivers to connect to one or more individual light or sound producing devices or sets of said devices, a low voltage power supply, an audio input rectifier and filter, and a rotary or other switch.
A light or sound system comprising a plurality of control systems, wherein the light or sound system is configured so that the plurality of control systems are interconnected in a non-hierarchical mesh network, wherein the mesh wireless radio of a given control system has the capacity to signal nearby control systems, one or more control systems have a switch filter configured to permit hop signal rebroadcasting, and a plurality of light or sound producing devices are functionally connected to a plurality of field-effect transistor drivers of control systems interconnected in the mesh network.
A microcontroller software platform comprising an embedded microcontroller firmware configured to implement flat, wireless, multi-point broadcast hopping communication schemes, the schemes comprising device property filtration or device property synchronization of device types having the capacity to be coordinated by the software platform, modified individually or wirelessly synchronized.
