A smart table lamp based on the Death Stranding Odradek device, the lamp consists of a combination of five individual light-emitting blades, each with three degrees of freedom, so you can adjust the angle you need at any time; the internal integration of XIAO nRF52840 Sense Bluetooth master control board and WS2812 phantom light strip, which means you can control it through the cell phone APP to display different colors and brightness.

A monotonous and cluttered desktop always makes it impossible to stay in a good mood, especially after getting a losing match in a game. I would always blame it on my mouse, keyboard, cats or light. In an effort to make the desktop look less monotonous, I decided to do something about it anyway and happened to come across the Death Stranding Desk Lamp shared by Nils Kal, a great model with a mechanical feel and a perfect reproduction of the Odradek device from the Death Stranding games. There’s little reason to say no to making such a cool desk lamp. After looking closely at Nils’ description and photos, I found that he simply connected a normal monochrome strip and controlled it with a toggle switch, which seemed too monotonous for me. So I decided to replicate the Death Stranding Desk Lamp and improve it by adding more functions and effects so that it can be used in different scenes and atmospheres.

First I will choose aprogrammable color strip to achieve the role of different colors and display effects, WS2812 is a good choice, because the project is less difficult, no need to draw their own PCB files, so you only need to buy theWS2812 strip. For the main controller, I choose Seeed Studio XIAO nRF52840 Sense development board, which is a Bluetooth and on-board IMU and MIC development board, small in size, and powerful.”
