The fountain’s shape – most notably, its tiered steps – affords it the ability to serve as a seat where multiple people can sit in
Overview This project builds a Christmas lights controller for the GE Color Effects lights allowing programmed control of up to 8 sets of Christmas lights. Furthermore, it provides a function specific language for programming patterns for these lights and an emulation environment for testing the programs requiring the lights to be built or hung.
