Realistic LED Candle
If you’ve even seen a fake candle you have probably noticed how it doesn’t look realistic. Whether you’re trying to add some atmosphere to a dinner or light up a jack’o-lantern, your choices are limited. A real candle has a fire hazard, but a fake candle will look tacky. If only there were a safe […]
D.I.Y SMART RGB MATRIX 8×16
In this project, I’ll show you how to make your own 8×16 RGB LED Matrix using Arduino Uno/ Nano. An LED Matrix can show scrolling messages, display animations, music spectrum analyzer … With integrating NodeMCU, it can be used as small screen to show weather information from internet or any process values when it connect […]
Frankenbot With Sound Effects and Lights
I was inspired by the cute Frankenbot papercraft, so I thought why not make it truly alive by giving it some blinking lights and sounds effect. Here is the plan: – Connect 2 LEDs for the eyes (different colours of course) and only one eye can be on at a time – Connect 3 LEDs […]
Charlieplexing Made Easy (and What It Even Means?!)
Charlieplexing. Aside from being a fancy word it is a technique for driving multiple LEDs with relatively few pins on a microcontroller. It allows you to drive N*(N-1) LEDs with just N pins without requiring any additional hardware, making it a quick, cheap and easy way to add multiple LEDs to your arduino projects. Throughout […]
OLED I2C DISPLAY WITH ARDUINO Tutorial
Hello there! Fellow electronics enthusiasts, I am quite sure we all make some or other projects, as a part of our learning experience or academics. We sure would want to display some data present on our micro-controllers, from sensors or simply display some message, so here is a quick tutorial about OLED displays, in which we […]
Spooky Teddy – Arduino Powered Self-rocking Chair & Rotating Head
Spooky teddy is a 2-part Halloween decor. The first part is the teddy bear that has a 3d printed mechanism that can rotate with an Arduino UNO and a solenoid. The second part is a self-rocking chair powered by an Arduino nano and a solenoid attached to the bottom of the chair. The two parts […]
