Dream light consists of a kinetic night light controlled by a soft pillow with pressure sensors. The pillow works as an input device and sends data to the night light. The data is transformed into a motor speed and the brightness of the light makes the dreamy light patterns on the walls and ceiling respond. You can squeeze it or lay your head on it.
The project is developed to help you fall asleep and clear your mind. The nightlight is made of a 3D-printed base, metal parts and a stepper motor. The light-bending acrylic shapes are made with a laser cutter. The PCBs for the nightlight and pillow are made with a CNC machine. For the wireless connection between the two devices, ESP-NOW is used together with two Xiao ESP32-C3 microcontrollers.
