HMTL
An Arduino-based hardware and software framework for building, controlling, and networking LED lighting and propane flame effects.

HMTL is an Arduino-based software and hardware framework for the projects behind the Lightbringer and a range of other lights-and-fire pieces. It began as controllers for the flame effects brought to Burning Man and regional events (and a wedding), and grew to cover interactive table-top lights and a number of geometric LED art pieces.
(Draft consolidated from the original “Lights and Fire” post — pending Adam’s review.)
Goal
A platform that makes it relatively easy to build, control, and network lighting and flame-effect devices — both for personal use and, eventually, for people with little electronics or software background to build their own. See the original write-up: Lights and Fire (2015).
Components
- HMTL library — module configuration, basic operations, and communication.
- ObjectLights — code that runs the Cube and Triangle lights, including sound reactivity.
- PCBs — boards for controlling the lights and flame effects.
