A home automation system is an automating the bulk of electronic and electrical tasks within a home. It uses a combination of hardware and software to enable control and management over appliances and devices within a home. Home automation not only refers to reduce human efforts but also energy efficiency and time saving. Here we are performing home automation by using ESP8266 – WiFi SoC and Blynk Playstore ...

Abstract: This article is how-to guide, intended as a quick learning aid for engineers considering using the MAX6954 to drive 14-segment monocolor LEDs. The MAX6954 is a versatile display driver, capable of controlling a mix of discrete, 7-segment, 14-segment, and 16-segment LED displays through a serial interface. This application note shows a typical application and configuration for driving eight mono-co ...

Controlling Arduino with Raspberry Pi using pyFirmata Although Raspberry Pi and Arduino are two different hardware in terms of their applications and structure, but they both are considered as two competing open source hardware platforms. They both have very strong community and support. Today we will slightly change things, and show you how we can take advantage of both of them. If you have both Arduino an ...

Interfacing LabVIEW With Arduino In previous article of Getting Started with LabVIEW, we have seen about LabVIEW and how it can be graphically programmed and executed in computer (software level). Now in this article we learn about How to Interface LabVIEW with Arduino Board. Requirements To interface LabVIEW with Arduino, you require the following software’s and hardware’s, LabVIEW (software) NI VISA (soft ...

Description TritiLEDs are always-on battery powered LED glow lights for general night-time marking use. Radioactive gaseous tritium light sources (GTLSs) are allowed in the United States in several consumer product categories, including watches, compasses, and gun sights, but general-purpose markers are considered "frivolous" and are prohibited. Leveraging advances in LED efficiency, battery capacity, and m ...

Today I want to make a LED Scroll Bar as is shown in the picture above. Ten LED strips can flash in different effect by using a control board. Components LED strip, Arduino Nano, Dupont line and a control board. How to make it ? Step 1) Cut the LED strip into 10 pieces with each LED arbitrary number. Then, weld the traverse at an interface of the LED strip. Here I prefer using Dupont line to connect. Step 2 ...

This project is very simple to build and serves as a basics to getting started with controlling a large number of LEDs using the Arduino Uno. For this project we will be using the MAX7219 which is display driver IC, which works with S ...

Protect your valuables with a puzzle! Story Keeping your valuable items away from prying eyes can be hard sometimes, unless you put it in a big safe or something similar... but who has room for that? Instead, create your own puzzlebox using the components from the MKR IoT Bundle and some cardboard! We can't guarantee the safety of your belongings, but at least it will be a fun deterrent for potential thieve ...

Features Simple hardware, using pre-fabricated modules Controls an RGB LED via any recent browser, any operating system WiFi credentials can be configured via browser Software is written as an Arduino sketch Introduction Some time ago I read about the cheap and easy to use ESP8266 WiFi modules and I had to have a couple of them. So I ordered two ESP-01 modules. At the time I had no idea what to do with them ...

Ever electronic device emits a certain amount of electromagnetic fields and we can use this radiation to learn a few things about the circuit. In today's instructable I'm going to show you how to build your own electromagnetic field meter using an Arduino. This device can be used to detect mains voltage, static electricity and radiations from certain devices. It can also be used to detect ghosts :P. So lets ...
