I wanted to make something so I could find our camp at night at Burning Man 2018. 2018 was a robot theme and I’m a fan of neon but no way was gonna head that route so I came up with an idea about a dancing cocktail glass kinda robot. We beach camp and have […]

If you searching for an LED matrix for your next project or to add to an existing application you may be interested to know that the Maker LED Display is now available to purchase from the Crowd Supply website priced from $39 or a 32 x 9 pixel LED matrix or $59 for a larger
Maker LED Display offers an Arduino programmable Internet connected LED matrix Continue Reading
Hi,In this instructable I’m going to teach you how I made my own “Jibo” but called “Twinky” I want to clear this up… THIS IS NOT A COPY! I WAS BUILDING TWINKY AND THEN I REALIZED THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS ALREADY EXIST :c It has almost the same functions but It doesnt need an internet
Meet Twinky the Cutest Arduino Robot Continue Reading
I was attending the graduation of my friend last May and my friend leaned over to me and said “Hey Rachel, you should do an Arduino project so that you’re really easy to spot when you graduate.” So I did just that. The cap has an 8 by 32 grid of LED’s that scrolls the

Morse code unit for kids. Variable speed and different levels. My son goes to CUBS and has a special event coming up. This event is all about communicating with other Scouts/Cubs from around the world? Via radio, also over the weekend there will be other activities including Morse code. So this little project is just

STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has released an innovative full-color ambient light sensor (ALS) that helps smartphones take better pictures and present more visually accurate data on screen displays. By simultaneously providing scene color temperature, ultra-violet (UVA) radiation level, and lighting frequency information, the VD6281 lets the camera correct white balance and
RGB UV IR LIGHT SENSOR IS UNDER 1X2MM Continue Reading
If you’ve even seen a fake candle you have probably noticed how it doesn’t look realistic. Whether you’re trying to add some atmosphere to a dinner or light up a jack’o-lantern, your choices are limited. A real candle has a fire hazard, but a fake candle will look tacky. If only there were a safe

A few months ago, in November 2018, we talked about the possibility of combining both WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5 into one board. The UNISOC UWP5661 was a chip that could make that possible and the same chip powers the IVY5661 96Boards IoT board. At the time of posting about the IVY5661 board and the relatively unknown WiSoC chip little information was available. The product board
THE WIFI 5 AND BLUETOOTH 5 BOARD NOW AVAILABLE – IVY5661 IOT BOARD Continue Reading
In this project, I’ll show you how to make your own 8×16 RGB LED Matrix using Arduino Uno/ Nano. An LED Matrix can show scrolling messages, display animations, music spectrum analyzer … With integrating NodeMCU, it can be used as small screen to show weather information from internet or any process values when it connect
D.I.Y SMART RGB MATRIX 8×16 Continue Reading
Charlieplexing. Aside from being a fancy word it is a technique for driving multiple LEDs with relatively few pins on a microcontroller. It allows you to drive N*(N-1) LEDs with just N pins without requiring any additional hardware, making it a quick, cheap and easy way to add multiple LEDs to your arduino projects. Throughout
