Seven segment LED displays are brighter, more attractive, and provide a far viewing distance as well as a wider viewing angle compared to LCD displays. This project describes a serial seven segment LED display shield for Arduino Uno or compatible boards. The shield consists of eight 0.56″ seven segment displays that are driven by one […]

Designing a custom plate for the Arduino Robot, adding jumbo LEDs and displaying readings from an ultrasonic distance sensor to the LCD. My previous post on the Arduino Robot described how I took the Runaway Robot sketch and modified it work with the PING ultrasonic distance sensor. This post is still based around the same

Smart Shop Window A SmartLiving Experiment where using a QR code to control a light in a shop window. For this experiment we use a Grove LED (representing the shop’s light) and a Smart phone to access the control switch. It’s an ideal starter project to become familiar with the Arduino, Grove and using your

In this tutorial we are going to interface a seven segment display to ARDUINO UNO. The display counts from 0-9 and resets itself to zero. Before going further, let us first discuss about seven segment displays. A seven segment display got its name from the very fact that it got seven illuminating segments. Each of these

In this project we are going to interface a ROTARY ENCODER with ARDUINO. ARDUINO UNO is an ATMEGA controller based development board designed for electronic engineers and hobbyists. In ARDUINO we have 20 I/O pins, so we can program 20 pins of UNO to be used as either input or output. A ROTARY ENCODER is

In this project we are going to design an 8×8 LED matrix display, for that we are going to interface an 8×8 LED matrix module with Arduino Uno. An 8×8 LED matrix contains 64 LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) which are arranged in the form of a matrix, hence the name LED matrix. These matrixes can be made by
