I built this Arduino based automatic LED light controller for a set of poorly lit stairs in our new home. The stairs are quite dangerous – especially at night – but not any more thanks to the Motion Activated Automatic LED Stair Lighting with Arduino (a.k.a. “the stair butler”). By carefully positioning the LED’s and

Alaska is on the edge of advancing climate change. Its unique position of having a fairly untouched landscape populated with a variety of coal mine canaries enables a lot of research possibilities. Our friend Monty is an Archaeologist who helps with camps for kids in Native Villages scattered around the state–Culturalalaska.com. He has been building

Berry Racer is a game that I came up with and programmed using Arduino’s Software. The game is run on a Teensy microcontroller which is connected through a custom PCB (Printed Circuit Board) to a Screen, a Joystick, four buttons, and a piezo speaker. The board can be powered through the micro USB port on
