  • Patent number: 10165655
    Abstract: A system of control of interconnected signal emitters comprises controller modules, microcontrollers, electronic drivers and signal emitters. The connection input of each electronic driver is connected to the output of another electronic driver or to the output of a microcontroller, and the single output of each electronic driver is connected to the single connection input of another electronic driver or to the output of a microcontroller; each electronic driver being part of a driver chain between controller modules. Described developments comprise the use of Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs), LED strips, sensors (e.g. ambient light, distance, motion, proximity, imaging, audio, temperature, pressure, etc), wired and/or wireless communication interfaces, power supply configurations and different topological arrangements (e.g. 2D, 3D, unidirectional or bidirectional arrangements, root or bridge vertices, interactive mesh, k-cyclic graphs, etc). Associated method steps (e.g.
