Hello guys,
For a volunteer artwork project, I want to switch 30 230v light bulb - stretched over 35 meters.
Hardwired would be the best way to go ( no unstable wireless) because it needs to be robust and they will be switched on/off fast (the delay has to be minimal).
Therefore I would like to daisy chain the relays - addressable relays just like those ws2812 LEDs or DMX. Significant less cable is needed this way and I can connect them any way I want.
Preferably they have their own address so I can send a command like '14 1' which turns on the 15th relay.
Needless to say it needs to be relatively cheap. So giving each relay an Arduino with dmx shield would be a bit too much.
I envision this to be controlled by one Arduino (with a dmx shield if possible).
I've searched the internet for inspiration and similar projects but couldn't find one.
Could you tell me how you would have done something like this? Or maybe there is a better way than mine? Or is led the way to go? (cost vs aesthetics, bulbs are way more beautiful tho)
Thank in advance for your advice,
Mark
