In this project I will show you how you can make an Arduino Touch Screen MP3 Music Player and Alarm Clock. You can watch the following video or read the written tutorial below. If we enter the Music Player we can start playing the music by pressing the big “Play” button in the middle of […]

If you’ve ever rode the Link Light Rail in Seattle to the airport, you may have glanced out of the window while traveling through a tunnel and seen playing cards illuminated on the walls. These images are not made from two dimensional screens. Each display is just a row of lights that changes rapidly as

This project brings back the old time Analog VU Meter, with the added functionality of a neat looking clock! When you turn off your music the meters automatically swing into to clock mode. Behind it all is the popular and easy to use Arduino. This is my submission for the Make-to-Learn Youth Contest: What did

When working on projects with computation-intensive routines and (or) near real-time performance requirements, having a “lightning-fast” RAM is usually a good thing for developers. This is one of the reasons while STMicro included the Core Coupled Memory (CCM) RAM in a good number of its STM32 microcontroller series, and Dim Tass recently demonstrated how to use it, in a blog post

Some years ago, I came across Mignon and Meggy Jr RGB, and was intrigued enough to want to make something similar, but with a wider screen, more possibilities for experiment and play, and with few parts. I called it Armadino, after seeing an armadillo logo on the spine of a children story book and mixing it with the word

Recently, I discovered six 2.3-inch red 7 segment displays in my collection that I bought from Rapid Electronics during their clearance of non-RoHS stock. Due to the absence of a clock at my work bench, I opted to create one using prototyping pad board, a Microchip PIC18F26K20 microcontroller, and a Dallas DS32KHZ temperature compensated 32.768kHz
Update: The Arduino system is fine; the only thing you have to take into consideration is the 9.54 hour rollover event, which Rob Faludi has provided an excellent solution for here. I made up a nice little over-analysis of the issue, available here. For a while, I’ve wanted to make a clock that can change

This project demonstrates building a real-time clock (RTC) with temperature display using an Arduino, DS3231 RTC chip, and SSD1306 OLED display (128×64 pixels). The DS3231 RTC chip provides more accuracy than the DS1307 and incorporates an onboard temperature sensor. It maintains timekeeping even without the main power, making it well-suited for this application. It communicates
Help keep your IoT pet alive via the Internet! Story If you had an IoT pet, what would it eat? WiFi SSIDs, of course! The Nerd is a wireless electronic pet that survives by collecting WiFi SSIDs along with some rest and sunlight. In order for it to thrive, you must balance offline and online
If you’ve poked around the internets where electronics hobbyists collect, it is likely that you are acutely aware of our incontrovertible affinity for building timekeeping clocks. It is similarly unlikely that you have been able to evade the plenitude of nixie tube based projects. There is a reason for this. Nixie tubes are cool. They
