Use the force, Luke. Close your eyes, hold on tight to your light saber and…….. Don’t touch that dial. No tweaking the knobs. Just wave your hands in front of the two sensitive sensors embedded in this bespoke piece of wearable tech. The garment has an embedded Adafruit Flora wearable microprocessor to generate R2-D2 theremin

This instructable will guide you through the process of making your very own star-cluster from LEDs and acrylic. I made this piece for my electronics final project at college and had access to a machine shop. This instructable assumes that you have access to similar tools. This project was very much inspired by http://www.instructables.com/id/working-progress-n-how-to-make-a-multilayered-a/#step8. Step 1:

Lite Brite pegs look like LED’s don’t they? That’s what I though the other day after working on an LED cube for a few hours. I happened to see my daughter’s Lite Brite sitting there, and I looked at the pile of LED’s on my desk. What a perfect match! In this instructable I will

The other day I was confronted with an interesting problem, I needed to control a series of lights from an interaction on a computer screen and it had to be as inexpensive as possible. I instantly thought of an Arduino. It had everything that I needed, more than enough I/O, an integrated USB and its only

This example shows the simplest thing you can do with an Arduino to see physical output: it blinks an LED. Circuit To build the circuit, attach a 220-ohm resistor to pin 13. Then attach the long leg of an LED (the positive leg, called the anode) to the resistor. Attach the short leg (the negative

This example fades 12 LEDs up and the down, one by one, on an Arduino Mega board. Circuit image developed using Fritzing. For more circuit examples, see the Fritzing project page Connect the longer, positive legs of (anodes) 12 LEDs to digital pins 2-13 through 220 ohm current limiting resistors. Connect the shorter, negative legs (cathodes) to ground. Schematic Code In

This is a basic example how arduino works. In this arduino projects you’ll see how arduino control LED on for 1 second and off for 1 second repeatedly. Instruction; 1) Connect cathode lead of LED (shorter lead) to ground pin and anode lead of LED (longer lead) to pin 13. Upload this code to your

This is a project for Arduino to make a Thermometer with Digital Display, aimed at beginners. Arduino measures the voltage on a TMP36 Temperature sensor, converts the Voltage to Degrees Celcius and Displays the value on an LOL shield display. Objectives: * Learn how to use the TMP36 * Learn how to perform numeric and

Wearable Arduino mod for your headphones. Non-invasive procedure for headphones that don’t have room inside the drivers or you don’t want to hack apart your high end cans. Adafruit just put out a tutorial for adding pattern blinking LED lights to headphones. This instructable takes it one step further. This project is really the Adafruit Ampli-tie project morphed
