Abstract
lighting system. In one example, a user interface is coupled to a programming device that is adapted to provide one or more selected addresses to a programmable lighting system, based on user input via the user interface. The system is also adapted to store the one or more selected addresses in memory.
Claims72
A method for controlling an LED lighting system, comprising steps of:
- selecting at least one address via a user interface of a programming device;
- selecting at least one parameter of a lighting control program via the user interface, the at least one lighting control program for execution by the LED lighting system to generate a lighting routine;
- communicating the selected at least one address and the selected at least one parameter from the programming device to the LED lighting system;
- storing the at least one selected address and the at least one selected parameter in a memory in the LED lighting system;
- and
- using the at least one selected address to communicate a command to the LED lighting system to execute the lighting control program in accordance with the at least one selected parameter to generate a range of colors.
A method for controlling a system including a LED lighting system and a programming device, the programming device comprising a processor, a user interface associated with the processor adapted to receive user input, and a communication port associated with the processor and adapted to communicate with the LED lighting system, the method comprising steps of:
- selecting an address on the programming device using the user interface;
- selecting a parameter of a lighting control program for execution by the LED lighting system to generate a lighting routine;
- communicating the selected address and the selected parameter from the programming device though the communication port;
- and
- using the selected address to communicate a command to the LED lighting system to execute the lighting control program in accordance with the selected parameter to generate a range of colors.
A method for controlling an LED lighting system, the LED lighting system comprising a memory, a processor associated with the memory, and a communication port associated with the processor adapted to communicate with a remote programming device, the method comprising steps of:
- receiving via the communication port at least one address from the remote programming device;
- and
- receiving via the communication port a parameter of a lighting control program for execution by the LED lighting system lighting system to generate a lighting routine;
- storing the received at least one address and the received parameter in the memory;
- and
- receiving a command to execute the lighting control program in accordance with the received parameter to generate a range of colors, the command directed to the at least one address.
A system, comprising:
- an LED lighting system comprising a memory and a processor associated with the memory;
- a programming device comprising a second processor;
- and
- a user interface associated with the second processor and adapted to receive user input to select an address and to select a parameter of a lighting control program;
- wherein the programming device is adapted to communicate the selected address and the selected parameter to the LED lighting system;
- wherein the LED lighting system is adapted to receive the address and the parameter and to store the address and the parameter in the memory;
- and
- wherein the LED lighting system is adapted to execute the lighting control program in accordance with the parameter to generate a range of colors upon receipt of a command directed to the address.
A programming device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a user interface associated with the processor adapted to receive user input to select an address and to select a parameter of a lighting control program,
- wherein the programming device is adapted to communicate the selected address and the selected parameter from the programming device to an LED lighting system located remotely from the programming device;
- and
- wherein the programming device is adapted to communicate a command to the LED lighting system to execute the lighting control program in accordance with the selected parameter to generate a range of colors, the command being directed to the selected address.
An LED lighting system, comprising:
- a memory and a processor associated with the memory;
- wherein the LED lighting system is adapted to receive an address and a parameter for a lighting control program from a remote programming device and to store the received address and the received parameter in the memory;
- and wherein the LED lighting system is adapted to execute the lighting control program according to the received parameter to generate a range of colors upon receipt of a command from the remote programming device directed to the received address.
