I just put in my 18x42 IG Vinyl pool this year and before I pour the concrete deck in the spring (it's all covered in snow now), I am planning to build 6 laminar water jets with computer controlled RGB lights, water cutters and bumpers to make some neat water/light shows. I'm also planning to hook this up to the music being played at the pool so the water can dance and light according to the music. Should be a fun project... we'll see how far I can get before spring.
I got a few packages full of electronic parts yesterday to start playing with... raspberry pi, some mini arduinos, 3W LEDs and drivers and some acrylic rod to carry the light from the led's into the water jet. Here is a pic of a couple LED's shining into the acrylic rod... pretty cool little lights!
