In this short tutorial you will learn how to make an Arduino-powered LED matrix. Unlike several other designs, this one uses a “companion” computer to notify the Arduino which LEDs should be powered. I have provided the code for the Arduino, as well as some Java code for displaying text on the LED matrix (this […]
SUMMARY A device that can be used to control up to 4 different Hydroponic/Aeroponic Systems at once. The device will control the components of the system and will display notification to a LCD screen and allow the user to customize settings via Bluetooth. This system will be user friendly and optimized for fast growing so
For a class assignment, I needed to make something fabric-based which took an Arduino, some programming, and at least two inputs and outputs. After sketching a few different ideas, I hit on this one: an electromagnetic glove for MagnetoGirl. It sprang to life for me, because magnetism is an invisible force which can seem magical.
Like many older people, my mom lives by herself. She likes her lifestyle but sometimes it gets a bit lonely. We talk on the phone a few times each week but it’s the in-between times where she could use a little emotional boost. A simple “I’m thinking of you” would be enough to make her
Amazon’s Dash Button, which I previously mentioned back in late May 2015, is the ultimate in consumer convenience (or, if you prefer, consumerism gone crazy). Simply press a button on the inconspicuous adhesive-backed device (perfect for attaching to your washer and dryer, refrigerator, counter, or cabinet), and your Amazon account is charged for the purchase

The following code and library are compatible with arduino software 1.0+ ONLY. You can download the newest version of the arduino software here. When you start to talk about biometrics in electronics, heart-rate is usually the first thing to come up. And why not? I think it is often the thing we are most aware

(and partner-in-crime, Abbie). Now, I’m off to the next stage of my life, so I decided to build this friendship photoset for Kevin and Briton to remember our golden era. We called ourselves: “The Suite Bros”. This project is actually an extension of the “Voice Activated Arduino (Bluetooth + Android) by ASCAS. I highly advise
In this tutorial I’ll show you how to make a 4x4x4 LED cube for around $15.00. The cube has 64 green LEDs which make up it’s 4 layers(positives) and 16 columns(negatives). These are all wired to a Arduino Uno. An Arduino is a single-board microcontroller, intended to make the application of interactive objects or environments
For this project, I was inspired by my best friend. She had been wanting some disco-fabulous armor-inspired wearable technology for music festivals and costume parties for some time. I took a pair of construction/gardening knee-pads and turned them into glitterific shoulder pads that shine bright with 50 LEDs that are Arduino controlled! This project was
One Challenge with working with RGB LEDs is getting the right Red, Green and Blue values to match a color you are trying to display. You can start with web colors, and then sometimes need to adjust them since the LEDs don’t look quite the same as they do on monitors. So, this is a
