Here I present another project based on a addressable LEDs strip, based on WS2812b leds. It consists of an ‘electronic’ candle, which lets you select set colors, adjust the intensity, and have different effects like rainbow, fade and fire. The project arose from the purchase of an IKEA lantern model BORBY … the idea was to replace
Candle with remote control and Arduino Pro Mini Continue Reading
Reflow Oven Build We have successfully managed to build a temperature controlled reflow oven using an Arduino based PID controller and a standard toaster oven from Robert Dyas! This is a must have accessory for any hobbyist who regularly uses surface mount components within their designs. Below we have a build log documenting the process

The Pax Instruments T400 is a simple, accurate, inexpensive, open source, four-channel temperature datalogger. Pax Instruments T400: first of a new class of affordable lab instruments A Little History A few years ago, I was engineering a new product and trying to log the temperature at multiple points within my device. I found myself needing

Avoid car thef is impossible but now find your stolen car will be easier! You just need to install your Arduino with the GPRS+GPS Quadband Module (SIM908) in a hidden place in your car, maybe in your trunk, in the glove compartment or under your spare tyre. Then connect the GPRS-GSM and the GPS antenna

BMO from Comedy Central’s Adventure Time is adorable, if only someone would make one that can walk! Atleast we can make one with a personality. Here is a build using easy to get parts including Arduino Pro Mini, Nokia 3310 LCD screen, audio playback, accelerometers, and distance sensors. The parts added up to around $70.00

Perhaps the hottest this-year novelty from company Wago – 221 series terminal blocks are here. Not only in flyers and datasheets, but also in reality – in our stock. That´s why we bring you their description and mainly the first pieces to evaluate. New series 221 is based on a well-proven technology of contacts –
High currents, small spaces – a breeze for Wago 221 Continue Reading
PORTLAND, Ore. — Samsung is funding Pennsylvania State University researchers working to fabricate III-V indium gallium arsenide FinFETs for possible use at the 7nm node. The silicon FinFET (3D fin gates on field effect transistors) have become the standard for low leakage and high performance at advanced nodes, but III-V compounds such as indium gallium

finally got round playing with my AVRASP v2.0 boards. The ones Sleepwalker3 mentioned. Thanks mate! I bought three USBASP v2.0 on ebay for under £1.50 each. They each came with a short cable (5×2 sockets at each end). However, they do not come with the JP2 header soldered on. Solder it or you won’t be
Using a USBASP v2.0 as a cheap ATmega8 Arduino platform Continue Reading

World’s smallest Arduino Mega clone: an enhanced electronics prototyping platform. Better than a Mega, smaller than an Uno! So what is this thing, anyhow? Mike, creator of the MegaCube, wanted to build a clone of an Arduino Mega, which is a flexible, easy to use hardware and software open source electronics development platform. He wanted
