No office space is complete without some eye-catching art piece to gawp at whilst you mull over your latest problem. But LED-based displays are common enough to be boring these days. Kinetic art pieces are where it’s at, and this piece called Flux is a perfect example. Commissioned for the Toronto office of a very popular e-commerce platform […]

Slides make for great old-timey fun, but it’s awesome to have a digital backup of your old photos, too. An automatic digitizer can make quick work of your collection, and this build from [rbwood53] will do just that. The digitizizer is based on a Kodak carousel slide projector. It’s fitted with LED strips instead of the

Anyone can buy a clock, but building your own lets you express your creative flair along the way. [Edison Science Corner] did just that with this neat sci-fi looking design. The build relies on an Arduino Pro Mini to run the show, paired with a DS3231 real-time clock module. The latter part is of great importance,

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

I have my online classes going on (still -_-) and the problem is I have a hard time waking up early. So I end up missing my first class every day. And yes, I do keep an alarm for 7 am but I always turn it off and go back to bed. So I got

With Artificial Intelligence, the science fiction is turning into reality and automation is taking… Description With Artificial Intelligence, the science fiction is turning into reality and automation is taking over the world. Inspired by the Iron man and Jarvis we decided to build something similar which can be controlled just by hand gestures. This system

At long last I have managed to finish the Rainbow Word Clock! Once again, this one was inspired by Doug and his creations http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Wordclock-Grew-Up/ I have a fixation with RGB LED’s at the moment and I wanted to do something a little different. So, while it is still here (before my girlfriend nicks it!) I thought

This project is the perfect way to level-up your pumpkin carving and reach new high scores. Using an addressable LED strip and an Arduino, you’ll be able to make a basic screen capable of playing Pacman, and a controller made of a smaller pumpkin. This was a long process so give yourself plenty of time

Persistence of Vision (POV) Wands are a fun way to create interesting long exposure photographs and light displays. The wand consists of a single row of LEDs controlled by an Arduino Uno. When the wand is turned on it appears to be flickering in a random pattern, but if you move it quickly back and

Take a look at Seeeduino XIAO. What a small size and cute looking! It is the smallest member of the Seeeduino family. Seeeduino XIAO still carries the powerful CPU-ARM® Cortex®-M0+(SAMD21G18) which is a low-power Arduino microcontroller. On the other hand, this little board has good performance in processing but needs less power. As a matter of fact, it
