Welcome to the LightWand_Kosmonaut_V2 wiki!
This Wiki covers the LightWand Kosmonaut V2 lightpainting tool, an Open Source, cheap, easy to made and modify machine to help the user make awesome detailled photographs through the lightpainting technique.
The LightWand Kosmonaut V2(LWK2) is an Arduino based device which can control LED Stripes in order to display images stored in an SD card. Additionally, it has a number of extra features to use it as a sensor data display device or a simple pattern generator for lightpainting photography.
The LightWand Kosmonaut V1(LWK1) was developped by Pablo dMM in 2015 (The same guy that developped this one) and the repository can be found here:

This project was originally based on the first LightWand made by Michael Ross in 2014 (http://mrossphoto.com/wordpress32/), please check out his awesome work. The LWK1 inherited form this version the main concept and two SW functions (described in code).
It is a similar tool to the commercial product Pixelstick (http://www.thepixelstick.com/).
These are some photos made with this tools, and that should guide you an idea of what is it and how could it be used. None of these photos are processed (further that contrast and brightness and perhaps saturation):
