LightLounge Controller
A Raspberry Pi–based controller and custom carrier board for a LightLounge therapy pod.
The project
Bring Raspberry Pi computing and the pod’s hardware connections together on a custom controller board.
Product highlights
- Raspberry Pi–based therapy pod controller architecture.
- Custom carrier-board layout and hardware interface integration.
- PCB design views showing the assembled board, connectors, and underside routing.
What the controller does
The LightLounge pod is a red-light therapy pod. SixSol designed the control system around a Raspberry Pi Compute Module on a custom carrier board, driving tunable LED arrays.
- More than 100 custom light protocols that operators can run on the pod.
- Full control of sessions and protocols from an app.
- A custom carrier board that connects the Compute Module to the LED drivers and pod hardware.
How we approached it
For a connected device like the LightLounge Controller, we start with the control logic that must always work, then add connectivity on top. The design, built on Raspberry Pi, Custom PCB, keeps essential functions local, so the product still behaves safely if Wi-Fi or the app is unavailable.
Inputs, outputs and user feedback are mapped before firmware starts, and each interface is tested on real hardware rather than in simulation alone. Updates are planned with a rollback path, as described in our fail-safe OTA guide.
