Developed and delivered an auto-brightness integration for seven-segment displays in the samyk/WLED repository, enabling the system to adjust brightness based on ambient light using the BH1750 sensor in addition to the existing SN_Photoresistor. This enhancement involved embedded C++ development and hardware sensor integration, updating both the codebase and documentation to support lux-based brightness control. The approach improved the accuracy and flexibility of automatic brightness adjustments, reducing the need for manual configuration and laying the groundwork for future sensor integrations. The work demonstrated skills in embedded systems, IoT, and version control, with a focus on maintainability and energy efficiency.
January 2025 monthly summary for samyk/WLED: Delivered integration of the seven-segment display auto-brightness feature with the BH1750 light sensor, enabling auto-brightness to use lux readings in addition to SN_Photoresistor. Updated code and documentation to reflect this enhancement, increasing accuracy and flexibility of ambient-light adjustments. The work is tied to commit 01a71132d5ee57d53cb083fd08907a4821bf3147, which connects the seven-segment reloaded usermod to the BH1750 usermod (#4503). Impact includes improved user experience with less manual tuning, potential energy savings through smarter brightness control, and easier maintainability. Technologies demonstrated: embedded C/C++, hardware sensor integration (BH1750), documentation practices, and DVCS/version control.
