This is a little diorama made with Arduino for a school project. What happens is a party which just stops playing music. As the sound stops there’s a bright light which turns on. There are two partypeople. One is having a stroke or something because of the alcohol. The other one thinks ‘Dam’n, the party […]
Exactly a year ago (February 2020), James’ wife wanted to expand her plant growing setup in the house. This included a bigger, larger, taller plant growing area AND the need for more lighting. BINGO! The seed for the Idea was planted. After an exhaustive market research, not able to find the product that we had
Recently I have been playing around with Arduino. Arduino is really cool and is a great way to learn electronics. In this Instructable I will teach you the basics of Arduino including: LED’s Buttons Potentiometers Resistors Tinkercad And a project with this knowledge. Step 1: The Board The controller can be broken down into a
The design was inspired by a product that is also presented on Instructable called “Arduino Basics with Night Light” (https://www.instructables.com/Arduino-Basics-With-…). Originally, the device is only allowed to change the LED lights by pushing down a button; after adding the codes and circuits (added: a speaker to notify the user for using recommended relatively peaceful color-blue/a

Let’s learn how to control multiple LEDs using Arduino’s digital outputs and a breadboard. Expanding upon the last lesson on blinking an LED, We’ll connect some LEDs to the Arduino Uno and compose a simple program to light them up in a pattern. You can follow along virtually using Tinkercad Circuits. You can even view this lesson from

This is a YouTube Subscriber counter built with an ESP8266. It uses the YouTube apiv3 to poll for changes. It’s made specifically for one of my favourite youtubers Henk Rijckaert. It was featured in his livestream where the goal was to get to 9000 subscribers. Step 1: Parts Needed – Electronics and Case The project is
Let’s learn to adjust an LED’s brightness using one of the Arduino’s analog outputs. You’ve probably already learned how to use Arduino’s digital i/o pins to send HIGH and LOW signals to an LED, but some of these pins are capable of simulating a signal somewhere in between. These pins are labeled on the Arduino Uno

The story of this clock goes back a long way – more than 30 years. My father pioneered this idea when I was just 10 years old, long before the LED revolution – back when LED’s where 1/1000 the brightness of their current blinding brilliance. A true innovator, he coded in assembly language and hand
In today’s Instructable, I’ll show you how you can use a generic RF module without a microcontroller which will eventually lead us to build a project where you can convert an IR Remote of any device to a RF Remote. The main advantage of converting an IR Remote to RF, is that, you don’t have
With this ‘Test Fixture’ and provided software you can test virtually any MCU with as little as 4 digital I/O lines (even only 2 is possible, all be it tricky) for project suitability and performance. When I start a new project I don’t like hooking up a lot of wires before making any progress on
