Hi fellow makers! This is a project I’ve been working on for my Makerspace class at Collégial international Sainte-Anne. I truly hope you will like it! *I’m sorry about the focus being bad. It was almost impossible to obtain a great focus since the LEDs were constantly flashing.* The topic to which this project is related: […]
On a recent rainy afternoon, [Thanassis Tsiodras] decided to build his own Forth for the Arduino to relieve the boredom. One week of intense hacking later, he called it done and released his project as MiniForth on GitHub. [Thanassis] says he was inspired by our series of Forth articles from a few years back, and his goal was to build
If you are considering purchasing a Nixie tube clock kit you may be interested in a new Arduino project published by Doug Domke to the Hackster.io website this week providing full instructions on how you can build your very own. Nixie tube clock build has been classed as an intermediate project and should take approximately

Let’s learn to adjust an LED’s brightness using one of the Arduino’s analog outputs. You’ve probably already learned how to use Arduino’s digital i/o pins to send HIGH and LOW signals to an LED, but some of these pins are capable of simulating a signal somewhere in between. These pins are labeled on the Arduino Uno

You can sense a lot of things with the right sensor, and [Nikhil Nailwal] is here to show us how to sense colors using a TCS230. The project is a simple demo. It displays the color and lights up an LED to correspond to the detected color. If you haven’t seen the TCS230 before, it is a
The story of this clock goes back a long way – more than 30 years. My father pioneered this idea when I was just 10 years old, long before the LED revolution – back when LED’s where 1/1000 the brightness of their current blinding brilliance. A true innovator, he coded in assembly language and hand
With this ‘Test Fixture’ and provided software you can test virtually any MCU with as little as 4 digital I/O lines (even only 2 is possible, all be it tricky) for project suitability and performance. When I start a new project I don’t like hooking up a lot of wires before making any progress on
We can say that an Interrupt is an automatic transfer of software execution in response to a hardware event that is asynchronous with the current software execution. As it’s name says, interrupts, “interrupt” the normal program flow to perform an action (run another code block, function, etc.) and return back to the normal program flow when the
Smart watches are pretty common today, but how many people do you know with a smart hat? [Oliver] built Wilson which he bills as “the IoT hat.” We wonder if the name was inspired by the Home Improvement character of the same name who only appeared as a hat above the fence line. You can see a
In this project, you will build an 8x8x8 LED cube as a display. After building the cube and learning the code basics, you will be able to write your own display animations. It is a great visual for scientific purposes and it will be a nice decorative addition to your room! During the process of
