we all love food isn’t that right? of course yes, everyone has tried cooking once in their life, and already knows the struggle to get exact amount of oil for the perfect recipe, so here is a project which will help you get it correct, follow the instructions till the end and you will have a beautiful Arduino
The emerging trend of smart lighting and Internet of Things, requires a new generation of LED drivers. InfineonTechnologies AG introduces the new member of its XDP LED series, the XDPL8221 for cost-effective dual-stage drivers with advanced features. This device combines a quasi-resonant PFC and a quasi-resonant flybackcontroller with primary side regulation together with a communication interface. A comprehensive set of configurable protection

What if I told you that you could build a display out of shoe laces!? Well that is exactly what I’ve done! Building your own seven segment display is nothing new, it’s a very common Arduino project, but I had an idea for this one so I said I’d give it a go, and I
Remember the “smart” LED candle from a few months ago? Well, the idea was nice, but the overall execution lacked some oomph. Technologically and aesthetically speaking there was a lot to improve. First off, as an artist, I wanted the container for the candle to look amazing. Or at least better than the old cardboard box I

LEDs are designed to emit light, but they also make surprisingly capable sensors. Using only an Arduino UNO, an LED and a resistor, we will build a hot LED anemometer that measures wind speed, and turns off the LED for 2 seconds when it detects you are blowing on it. You can use this to
This neat little gadget has a fingerprint sensor so you can secure your cool stuff in a personalised portable case. I use to hold a diary and pen and designs for my new projects. Features a 3d printed case and uses an Arduino nano. Great gift idea. Step 1: Gather Materials Arduino Nano WS2812b Programmable
The Etch-A-Sketch was a toy that demanded mastery. Some grew capable of creating masterful artworks, while others struggled to do more than a jumbled mess of angry, angular lines. The inherent limitations of being able to only draw a singular, connected line are all part of the fun, of course, and [gatoninja236] recreated that in a
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
