mo.momi Led strips are amazing! Firewalker-led-sneakers(http://learn.adafruit.com/firewalker-led-sneakers) by Adafruit inspired me. I wanna change a way to control it, instead of “pressure-sensitive”, I use a accelerometer sensor judging the motion of slipper. It’s simple, I complete this version only calculating the acceleration on “z” axis, weather i’m speed up or slow down. Led will “flow” if […]
This sketch blinks the Esplora’s RGB LED. It goes through all three primary colors (red, green, blue), then it combines them for secondary colors(yellow, cyan, magenta), then it turns on all the colors to create white. For best results, cover the LED with a piece of white paper to see the colors blend. Circuit Only […]
A potentiometer is a simple knob that provides a variable resistance, which you can read into the Arduino board as an analog value. In this example, you’ll connect a poterntiometer to one of the Arduino’s analog inputs to control the rate at which the built-in LED on pin 13 blinks. Circuit image developed using Fritzing. For […]
In this instructable i will explain how to connect 7 segment display, decoder and arduino. It´s pretty easy. At first we have to learn something about decoder. I´m using BCD to 7 segment decoder. My is D147D, this is old chip, but the newer are similar. Documentation about one of them you can find here […]
Many times, we often use LCD as display equipment, from tiny temperature monitors to large industrial equipment. The funny thing in this project is that it combines two Red LED Matrices as display. You don’t need other devices except Arduino to drive it. This project is build for to counting the shipped with wifi support. […]
The Problem It is late night, and your cellphone rings. You can’t see where it is, you blindly grope around your nightstand, trying in vain to find that illusive switch that will illuminate your side of the bed. You clumsily turn on the lamp, locate your cellphone…and you miss the call. Damn. If only your […]
This example shows how to use the tone() command to play different notes on multiple outputs. The tone() command works by taking over one of the Atmega’s internal timers, setting it to the frequency you want, and using the timer to pulse an output pin. Since it’s only using one timer, you can only play […]
Once you’ve got a pushbutton working, you often want to do some action based on how many times the button is pushed. To do this, you need to know when the button changes state from off to on, and count how many times this change of state happens. This is called state change detection or edge detection. Circuit image developed […]
We use them every day, but has no one got bored of pressing buttons on a stick, it’s far too much effort pressing buttons! Surely there are better ways to control a device? After doing some work with my Nikon camera using IR to control it, I wanted to do the same with other devices. […]
Last year, I have made this ball balancing robot.It can stand on a ball stable by the balance system of itself. There is only one connect point between the robot and the ground, so it is more flexible than the traditional wheeled robot. It can move to any directions without turn. For the traditional wheeled […]
