There are a number of great Instructables on LED grids out there. This is a low cost version – not quite as polished, but easy to make. This project uses a couple of sheets of foam core, a fluorescent fixture cover from the local home store, a cut up strip of WS2812b LEDs, and an

In the previous instructable I showed you how to get started with IoT using the nodeMCU, in this instructable I will be featuring the Particle Photon which is an easy to use IoT device to get started with designing IoT projects. The particle photon is smaller than the nodeMCU and features STM32 ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller on

This project is a portable, Arduino-powered, grid-based MIDI controller that boots up into a variety of apps to do lots of things with sound. It has 16 backlit buttons, used as both inputs and outputs to give the controller some visual feedback. 2 potentiometers give analog control, depending on the app the pots are assigned

In the two previous projects, the LED turns on and off automatically. Now, you will control the LED manually using a pushbutton. Step 1: What You Will Need The parts you will need are all included in this Maker kit. SwiftIO board Shield Button module 4-pin cable Step 2: Button The button, or pushbutton, is always

To blink an LED with an Arduino using Python, you will need to: Connect the LED to the Arduino board. You will need to connect the positive leg of the LED (the longer leg) to a digital output pin and the negative leg (the shorter leg) to a ground pin. Install the PySerial library, which

The very first project of my channel is about controlling an RGB LED using annoying push buttons…. I feel that the project was not a good one to learn about micro-controllers, because most of the micro-controllers uses are not fully utilised in that project…. So, This is definitely the time for an upgrade, and upgrade means letting
Particle Photon is a tiny micro controller, just about the size of an arduino nano. But the photon is designed for easy IoT prototyping, it supports OTA updates to its firmware. So all we have to do is get it connected to the internet and we could do all the programming wireless, the photon uses a

Hi makers! This is my first instructables and I want to address some important things firts: I made this project with the idea of using the lest amount of tools so that everyone could do it! Even I don’t have lot’s of tools, only the strict necessary I’m not an electrical engineer or a coder,

OLED!! What is an OLED? OLED ( Organic Light Emitting Diodes ) is a flat light emitting technology, made by placing a series of organic thin films between two conductors. When electrical current is applied, a bright light is emitted. OLEDs can be used to make displays and lighting. Because OLEDs emit light they do not require a backlight and

Recently my wife has suggested that I should lose a few pounds in weight (too much time geeking out and not enough time in the gym). With that in mind -and in true nerd fashion- I wanted to create a method to see my progress, as well as having a constant reminder to stick to
