Edinburgh Hacklab

Main Room (G1) Lighting

There are 18 DALI LED panels installed in early 2024.

A relay is connected to one of the lights on each of the two switches, to detect when the light switch is turned on.

New controller and PCB for 2025:

  • Light switches connections:
    • Black: GND
    • Yellow: 11 (left switch)
    • Blue: 12 (right switch)
