P.R.E.S.S.

Pressure Reactive Electronic Solar Stones


The objective of this project is to utilize solar energy to control and power user programmable multicolor LEDs within a weather proofed structure from an android mobile device. This device is capable of providing the user with a safe lighted pathway in a vast array of customizable, user defined color preferences. Selection of this project was based on a necessity to create both a functional and unique design. The system is self-contained and uses renewable energy in an effort to be conscious of environmental matters in regards to power consumption.
