In the two previous projects, the LED turns on and off automatically. Now, you will control the LED manually using a pushbutton. Step 1: What You Will Need The parts you will need are all included in this Maker kit. SwiftIO board Shield Button module 4-pin cable Step 2: Button The button, or pushbutton, is always […]

Here is an easy(enough) project to introduce you to the Arduino microcontroller, as well as Processing. This is my first Arduino and Processing project and I didn’t have too much bother getting it working. This is my entry to the Sparkfun Microcontroller contest so if you think it’s good, please vote!!(voting starts the 14th feb).

I originally started this project because I wanted to recreate the scene in the movie the Close Encounters of the Third Kind where the humans are communicating with the Mothership via a huge color organ. So I glued various bits of software together and made some prototypes and before I knew it I was talking
This instructable will guide you through the process of making your very own star-cluster from LEDs and acrylic. I made this piece for my electronics final project at college and had access to a machine shop. This instructable assumes that you have access to similar tools. This project was very much inspired by http://www.instructables.com/id/working-progress-n-how-to-make-a-multilayered-a/#step8. Step 1:

Lite Brite pegs look like LED’s don’t they? That’s what I though the other day after working on an LED cube for a few hours. I happened to see my daughter’s Lite Brite sitting there, and I looked at the pile of LED’s on my desk. What a perfect match! In this instructable I will

The other day I was confronted with an interesting problem, I needed to control a series of lights from an interaction on a computer screen and it had to be as inexpensive as possible. I instantly thought of an Arduino. It had everything that I needed, more than enough I/O, an integrated USB and its only

A couple of mounts ago i order a 1M long WS2801 RGB led strip, just for fun. I took me a while to get the strip working with my Arduino. The next step was to figure out what to do with the strip. after some time the idea came to me: a Bluetooth controllable floor

Our most popular item on our display at Maker Faires is always the Rainbow Jar. One customer has already replicated it so we thought we’d share how we made it so you can make your own! https://vine.co/v/hqxpVgdFQ9z (tried embedding this vine but it breaks instructables!) Step 1: Getting Started – What you need [box color=”#985D00″ bg=”#FFF8CB”

The Phenakistoscope is an early optical illusion device that uses static images to create the illusion of motion through the principle of persistence of vision. It is regarded as one of the first forms of moving media entertainment that paved the way for the motion picture industry. We are not sure how big is the

Francisca Molero Luque, Dolores Martín Cabrera and Laura Mejía Ospina, students of ‘Creative Electronics’, a Beng Electronics Engineering module at the University of Málaga, School of Telecommunications. We decide to make as final project a derivation of Interactive Geodesic LED Dome. Supplies – NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip – IR sensors – 470 Ohm and 10K Ohm
