Sound-activated LEDs are a fun and interactive way to combine audio and visuals. In this project, you will build a simple sound-responsive LED light system using an Arduino and a microphone sensor. When a sound is detected, such as clapping or music, the LEDs will light up based on the sound’s intensity. This project is […]
1. TRYING TO MEASURE THE SPEED OF LIGHT WITH AN ARDUINO We know that measuring the speed of light with an Arduino is possible. It’s just that the implementation is hard. Last month we saw [Udo]’s blinkenlight shield that can be used as a line scan camera. It’s a neat piece of kit, but [Udo] really wants to
In this post, we will talk about Retro-LED-Strip-Audio-Visualizer: As a musician and electrical engineering student, I love any project that intersects these two fields. I’ve seen some DIY audio visualizers (here, here, here, and here), but each had missed at least one of the two goals I established for myself: professional build quality and a
There’s a lot of night lamps outside, but they can’t customize to your favorite color. So, this project is to make a night lamp that you can choose your favorite color. Step 1: Step One: Electronics Needed Here are the electronics you need to make the Decoration. 1. 2* Arduino buttons 6*6*5 mm Purchase here 2.
Summary This PCB (Printed Circuit Board) resembles the YouTube Play Button award that is given out to creators for reaching certain milestones such as 100,000, 1 million, and 10 million subscribers. When the switch is turned on, the user can scroll through 5 different modes by pressing the button on the top left corner. The

There are lot of DIY arc reactors out there that look pretty cool. Some look realistic too. But why build something that just looks like that thing and does not do anything. Well, this arc reactor is not going to protect your heart using electromagnets (of course not) but will surely look cool when it

Howdy! If you are interested in astronomy and always look up at the stars and not down at your feet, you’ll surely know the ISS. The ISS or The International Space Station revolves around the earth around 16 times per day. Being an aerospace engineering student, I’m very keen about things like the ISS. If

One of the things I look forward to with summers in Pennsylvania are fireflies in my backyard. I recently taught myself Adruino programming for the purpose of making this simple project. It’s a great program to start with and is easy enough for any programmer, novice to expert, to build, modify and have fun with
The Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen (OEDK) is the largest makerspace at Rice University, providing a space for all students to design and prototype solutions to real-world challenges. To serve this purpose, the OEDK houses a number of power tools and large machinery that produce loud, potentially unsafe noises. While the OEDK has successfully established a
I designed and built a Geiger Counter – a device that can detect ionizing radiation and warn its user of dangerous ambient radiation levels with the all-too-familiar clicking noise. It can also be used when scouting for minerals to see if the rock you found has Uranium Ore in it! There are many existing kits
