In part 1<\/a>, I described the hard\u00adware of my project of a com\u00adput\u00ader con\u00adtrol\u00adlable lava lamp. In this sec\u00adond part, I want to dis\u00adcuss the nec\u00ades\u00adsary firmware, which is the soft\u00adware nec\u00ades\u00adsary to teach the Picaxe Micro\u00adcon\u00adtroller<\/a> the desired functionality.<\/p>\n

We need to keep two areas in focus:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We need to be able to read the desired col\u00ador val\u00adues from the USB<\/span> ser\u00adi\u00adal port, defin\u00ading the desired inten\u00adsi\u00adties of the col\u00adors green, red and blue.<\/li>\n
  2. These desired val\u00adues have to be turned into actu\u00adal light in desired col\u00ador and inten\u00adsi\u00adty. This means, the LEDs have to be turned on.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
