Room 42 Occupancy Detector
So, I was lounging around one lazy friday, when I encountered an old
motion detector on my desk, from projects past. I also dug up a nice
colorscape 22, a 22 red, green, and blue LED cluster with a cute little
controller that does fades and switches between modes.
With a little wiring and a mighty resistor, I set it up so that the cluster
would turn on whenever the detector went off. Simple stuff--nothing to be
proud of with the engineering here.

The cluster mounted outside my door
Then, I put the detector inside my room, facing in, and I put the light
cluster outside the door.
With this simple setup, my room tells anyone outside if there are people inside, by lighting up the doorwar in psychedelic fading hues.
Pictures!
