Lighting
Wavie has two lit areas, controlled separately.
| Zone | Detail |
|---|---|
| The ring | 33 addressable RGB LEDs on a board at the base, behind a white diffuser |
| The logo | The crescent on the front, lit evenly from behind by a thin RGB backlight panel: one RGB LED in a diffusing acrylic panel, so the whole logo glows in one colour |
What the lights are for
Wavie is meant to be left alone. The lights are how it tells you what it is doing without opening the app.
Planned behaviour:
- Idle: any colour and brightness you choose, for each zone.
- Working: a visible change while a test is running.
- Needs attention: a distinct state when something needs you, such as reagents running low or a fault.
The exact colours and patterns are not final.
