The objective of our final project was to build a 5x5x5 RGB LED cube that can display a certain color depending on the frequency of music playing. There are two main components of this project. The first part is the hardware setup that consists of the LED cube and the circuits that drive the power […]

For the final project we made an analog style clock with an Arduino microcontroller. To do this we used three major components: an RGB LED Strip, a DeadOn RTC, and a custom user interface. The LED strip is used to set the display around the clock. The DeadOn RTC is used to keep time independent

This project involved creating a red, blue, green (RGB) light emitting diode (LED) matrix that displayed the colors of the rainbow. The colors of the rainbow were chosen to show the full color spectrum that the LEDs are capable of, while still giving distinct variation within the LED matrix. In this project, each diagonal of
Monitor your plants and let them water themselves when they are thirsty. Story Motivation I work in a rather ‘sterile’ office, that was once a server room with raised floors. After several years working in there, I got tired of no windows, no outside light, and NO GREEN things, and decided to bring in one

Stand out from the crowd with this unabashedly ostentatious excuse for a wallet. It’s got plenty of space, RGB lights, and you can even put your name on it for added vanity. Interested? Keep reading! In the files section of this build you can find two things: a Fusion archive and some STL files. If

In this project we are going to interface 5 RGB (Red Green Blue) LEDs to Arduino Uno. These LEDs are connected in parallel for reducing PIN usage of Uno. The RGB LED will have four pins as shown in figure. PIN1: Color 1 negative terminal or color 1 positive terminal PIN2: Common positive for all three

Greetings! I’m Russell Petersen. I’m an engineer, inventor, designer, fabricator, and dreamer. I’m a junior Electrical Engineer by trade, located and working in the San Francisco Bay Area. I love playing with Solid State Lighting, and came up with this idea one night. Simply stated, It’s a custom built light box with a logo adhered

Sometimes I just have those days where I really want to make something neat with the Arduino I have lying around, but I know I don’t have the patience for a more involved project that’ll take more than a day or so. This is for one of those days. The premise is as follows: A

A few weeks ago, it came to my attention that IKEA do a set of colour-changeable LED strips. I’ve been looking for a decent way of providing some lighting behind my computer to reduce eye-strain for a long time, and these seemed perfect: I was very pleased with them, but no self-respecting nerd would stop

RGB LED disco light is a simple project designed around PIC16F72 microcontroller. This firmware is a RGB driver, as name suggests it is used to derive or light red, green and blue LEDs in particular fashion. Its main feature is the pattern shown on LEDs. It is quite difficult to describe pattern in words but
