Globe Lamp is an RGB Arduino-powered desk lamp with a novel on-off switch mechanism. Users can press on the top of the lamp to turn it on and off, and the LED lights can be reprogrammed to any color.

Globe Lamp was created by me (James Muir) and Haiyang Yu as the final project of our TECHIN 511 class. We collaborated on this project 100% remotely with Haiyang in China and me in the United States.

I drew some sketches of different ideas for lamp shapes and designs.

I drew these sketches during the development of the mechanical structure.

I created a CAD model of our design using Fusion 360.

I 3D printed a hole size tester to figure out how big to make the button and captive nut holes.

I 3D printed the base of the lamp from the CAD model.

I tested the RGB electronics with a breadboard before I soldered them into the final assembly.

I soldered all of the electronics together and mounted them in the electronics

I assembled the base, dome, and electronics to complete the lamp.
