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

Bring a snippet of the Dark Side to your living room with this unique voice-activated lamp. A functional work of art that is both useful and pleasing to look at. Switching on or off? All lamps do that! Changing brightness? Very common! But can yours do this? *cue to turn volume up for intro video* Rad, innit? Besides

In this project, you will build an 8x8x8 LED cube as a display. After building the cube and learning the code basics, you will be able to write your own display animations. It is a great visual for scientific purposes and it will be a nice decorative addition to your room! During the process of
This cool little Pocket Metal Locator is sensitive enough to identify small nails and tacks in wood and compact enough to fit into awkward spaces making it convenient to carry and use for metal locating. The unit has four independent search coils and color LED indicators making it easy to cover a larger search area
