I´ve been looking into LED Cubes and noticed that most of them were either to complicated or to expensive. After looking at a lot of different cubes, I finally decided that my LED Cube should be: easy and simple to build affordable very stylish and extravagant After having build multiple Arduino LED Cubes, I can […]

Walking a dog in the dark comes with the safety risk of motorists who don’t see you walking, we’ve had a few close shaves with drivers turning quickly into or backing out of driveways or when crossing road intersections. So why not illuminate your favorite Doggo with a rainbow of colors to get motorists attention

Ordinary digital cameras work by using a large array of light sensors to capture light as it is reflected from an object. In this experiment, I wanted to see whether I could build a backwards camera: instead of having an array of light sensors, I have just a single sensor; but I control each of

This Arduino project uses an Optical Flow Sensor (ADNS3080) to capture movement. Then translate the data to move servo’s making it look as eyes are following moving object. This is not an easy build. It requires 3d printing, soldering, some general technical understanding and problem solving as this guide cannot be 100% perfect. I will

Liquids or other objects appear colored because theyreflect or transmit certain colors and in turn swallow (absorb) others. With a so-called photometer, those colors (wavelengths) can be determined, which are absorbed by liquids. The basic principle is simple: with a LED of a certain color you first shine through a cuvette filled with water or

Introduction Hello Everyone!This is my first guide and (hopefully) the first one in a series of guides on my quest to create an open-source RGB-LED visual poi. To keep it simple first, this is going to result in a simple led-poi featuring remote control via IR and all kinds of colour-change-animations. Keep in mind: This

Meet Chartreuse! Chartreuse’s face follows you when you walk by. When she sees you, her eyes turn yellow and she gets a happy expression in her eyes. As you walk away, her eyes change to blue and she sadly turns away. Chartreuse is powered by an Arduino Uno, two servos, and a stepper motor and

Back Story My brother has Funko POP figures that represent his characters that his friends play most often in video games. We thought that it would be cool if they had a display case that would have LEDs in it to represent their status on Steam. So with my previous experience with Arduino, Steam API,

Summary This PCB (Printed Circuit Board) resembles the YouTube Play Button award that is given out to creators for reaching certain milestones such as 100,000, 1 million, and 10 million subscribers. When the switch is turned on, the user can scroll through 5 different modes by pressing the button on the top left corner. The

Been playing around with the laser cutter/engraver, and really fell in love with engraving in to clear acrylic and shining a light source from the edge. The thickness of the acrylic being used is a .25″ sheet, which cuts really cleanly by the laser cutter/engraver (the one that I had access to is the Trotec
