Arduino PMW enabled high power shield or non shield on the cheap

Arduino PMW enabled high power shield or non-shield on the cheap

Micro controllers are great, but have you ever wanted to control something bigger then, lets say an LED? If you have, look no further (unless you want more then 0.6Amps for 4 channels, or 2.4Amps for 1 channel), unless you don’t mind spending more money. This instructable will be all about building your own, preferably

Talking Pumpkin

Talking Pumpkin

So my boss came to me one last week and said he wanted to scare the trick-or-treaters who came to his home, and the kids who would come to work during a special Halloween Walk the community does. Thus was born the talking pumpkin. In short, I used an Arduino, an SD card read/writer, and

Arduino Analog Read Voltage

Analog Read Voltage using Arduino

This example shows you how to read an analog input on Pin 0, convert the values from analogRead() into voltage, and print it out to the serial monitor.  Circuit: image developed using Fritzing. For more circuit examples, see the Fritzing project page Connect the three wires from the potentiometer to your Arduino board. The first goes to

Safe and simple AC PWM Dimmer for arduino Raspberry pi

Safe and simple AC PWM Dimmer for arduino / Raspberry pi

Dimmer With  MOSFET This circuit shows that dimmers intended for use at mains voltage do not always have to contain a triac. Here, a MOSFET (BUZ41A, 500 V/4.5A) in a diode bridge is used to control the voltage across an incandescent bulb with pulse-width modulation (PWM). The power supply voltage for driving the gate is
