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

A while back, we constructed a pair of LED skateboard truck-risers. That project was intentionally created without the aid of advanced tools and techniques. We decided to try the concept again but without limiting ourselves. This time around we used custom designed PCBs and 3D printed parts. There was no limiting ourselves to hand tools and

There are lots of Instructables on how to use SSD1306-based 128×64 OLED displays. Many of these write-ups are very informative but just about all of them look like an unfinished science project. (In fairness, most are directed at getting up and running with the display, not creating a finished product). Here’s a quick and easy way to

This project uses green surface-mount LED’s along with an AVR ATTiny45 microcontroller to simulate the behavior of fireflies in a jar. (note: the firefly behavior in this video has been greatly sped up in order to be easier to represent in a short film. The default behavior has significantly more variance in its brightness and

Introduction: Lighting is an important aspect of visual art. And if the lighting can change with time it can become a significant dimension of the art. This project started with attending a light show and experiencing how the lighting could totally change the color of an object. We began to explore this in lighting fabric

Hey guys what’s up. Here’s something cool, a Naruto-themed Desk light that is made mainly from PCB. The heart of this project is an Attiy13A that drives some 0603 LEDs which are on the backside of the Face. The Head part is detachable or swappable, which means we can prepare two or more Naruto Heads

Why build a light suit? Probably because I’ve watched tron a few too many times (the 1984 version of course). I’d just discovered Arduino and was very excited, I’d made LED’s flash and buzzers sound but now I wanted to make something new and interesting, the idea of a light suit popped into my mind.

Have an awesome project in mind using some LEDs. In that project I will be using some LED Fading Effect and few LED Chaser Circuits. But before jumping onto that, I thought I should create a short tutorial and show you guys how to fade a LED with or without an Arduino automatically or manually

Francisca Molero Luque, Dolores Martín Cabrera and Laura Mejía Ospina, students of ‘Creative Electronics’, a Beng Electronics Engineering module at the University of Málaga, School of Telecommunications. We decide to make as final project a derivation of Interactive Geodesic LED Dome. Supplies – NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip – IR sensors – 470 Ohm and 10K Ohm
A Chaser Circuit consists of a clocked IC or other electronic unit like an Arduino that drives an array of LEDs in such a way that individual LEDs (or small groups of LEDs) turn on and off in a predetermined and repeating sequence, thus producing a visually attractive display in which one or more ripples
