Here is how to connect a motor, a switch and an LED to your Arduino and how to do some checking to make sure that everything works. The strategy is to get the circuit going in stages, testing each part as you go. Once everything is wired correctly and can be either controlled or read

Being the giant fan of LED’s that I am i’m always trying to come up with new ways I can put them throughout my house. Today i’m going to show you how to create a simple, yet extremely eye catching, RGB Bluetooth controlled Shelf lighting system. The beauty of integrating Bluetooth into the system is

LEDs are great. But with any project there comes a point where flashing is simply not enough. For these cases an RGB (Red, Green, BLue) LED is the answer. With an RGB LED you’ll be able to produce any colour glow your heart desires. At first using an RGB LED seems quite complex, but it

After we came up with the Bi-color LED Matrix Driver Module kit, we have been looking around for interesting projects to work with it. You may be interested in some of the projects we have put up at instructables using this LED Matrix kit. Instructable to build a Arduino (SPI) 7 Bi-color LED Matrix Scrolling

Description This little project makes a great ornament to hang in your window at Christmas time. It is a 20″ wide star with 50 “neopixel” leds around the perimeter. Each led is individually addressable and it is controlled by an arduino device which can be programmed to sequence the leds in various patterns. Depending on

In this tutorial I’ll show you how to make a 4x4x4 LED cube for around $15.00. The cube has 64 green LEDs which make up it’s 4 layers(positives) and 16 columns(negatives). These are all wired to a Arduino Uno. An Arduino is a single-board microcontroller, intended to make the application of interactive objects or environments
