often a pair of very similar develops hit the Hackaday idea line within hours of each other. We’re not one to play favorites, so here’s two jobs that put RGB LED strips in a desk as well as workbench.

[Charles] over at The makers Workbench has long needed a illumination option for his workspace. Flourescent lights are alright, however for genuine geek cred nothing however LED strips will do. He chosen up an RGB strip on Amazon for $20 as well as now has a illumination option that’s able to modification colors above his workstation. inspect out the video of his RGB workbench rave.

A computer desk is a workbench too, right? [Will] had the concept of letting people on the Web manage the illumination color of his desk. He’s asking people to head over to this site and asking people to routine the color of his desk for an entire day. A Raspi pulls each day’s color off the server. With a few transistors, an RGB strip, a custom-made shield, as well as faking three PWM channels, [Will] has a new color at his desk every day.
