|Has description=The "Light Group" project combines several subprojects. These are "lamps". LEDs (technical designation: WS 2812) are always used. These are very energy efficient. You can control the lamps via the PC, the editor "Eclipse" is required, in it is also a terminal integrated. The computer sends color signals over a network to the ESP (NodeMCU Devboard), which then converts it. In each "lamp" is an ESP. The Esp is written with the programming language "Lua", the program on the PC in the editor Eclipse is written with "Java".

== General informations ==
The "Light Group" project combines several subprojects. These are "lamps". LEDs (technical designation: WS 2812) are always used. These are very energy efficient. You can control the lamps via the PC, the editor "Eclipse" is required, in it is also a terminal integrated. The computer sends color signals over a network to the ESP (NodeMCU Devboard), which then converts it. In each "lamp" is an ESP.

== Light Cubes ==
The Light Cubes are "luminous cubes", on the underside there is a 12x12 cm wooden plate, which is used as a floor plate. Inside is an ESP 8266-12 (more specifically: NodeMCU Devboard). An LED stripe (WS 2812) is also used internally to illuminate the Light Cube from 5 sides. The computer communicates with the ESP over the same network. Via a specially adapted script, the computer tells the ESP that the LEDs connected to the Node MCU Devboard via the GPIO Pin 2 are supposed to change the colors. Multiple Light Cubes can be controlled at the same time. Two Light Cubes are currently in use. On the PC you should find the editor "Eclipse", in the editor is a terminal integrated.

== Light Column ==
The Light Column is a "luminous column". Inside is an ESP. An LED stripe (WS 2812) is also used to illuminate the light column from several planes. The computer communicates with the ESP over the same network. Via a specially adapted script, the computer tells the ESP that the LEDs connected to the Node EMCU Devboard via the GPIO pin 2 are supposed to change the colors. Multiple Light Cubes can be controlled at the same time. Two Light Cubes are currently in use. On the PC you should find the editor "Eclipse", in the editor is a terminal integrated.
