This was my very first arduino project. Its great for beginners. Fade the color or the lights my moving your hands near it. It fades from a pretty purple blue to a firey red-orange. Its was SUPER easy to build, not to hard to write the code, and its really impresses people! I gave it […]

Being the giant fan of LED’s that I am i’m always trying to come up with new ways I can put them throughout my house. Today i’m going to show you how to create a simple, yet extremely eye catching, RGB Bluetooth controlled Shelf lighting system. The beauty of integrating Bluetooth into the system is

Have you ever wanted to control electronics with your smartphone? The Arduino ADK (Android Development Kit) is the Arduino Mega with a built in USB host device, ready for your smartphone to be plugged in! We’ll make a simple introductory project with a few LED strips and a relay (to control the high voltages of

SjoelSim! Is a mixed-reality version of the popular and historic Dutch shuffleboard game “Sjoelen”. The circuit makes use of two HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensors to measure the X and Z velocity of a playing disc. In combination with a program built in the Unity Engine, it makes for a pretty good alternative to the real
