Instructables member Qttting_F has published a fantastic project detailing how to build a Water Surface Lamp, using a little Ardunio coding and hardware, combined with a few LED lights to great effect. Check outage video below to learn more and see the unique light in action. This Instructable will show you how to make an […]
Monitoring accurately the temperature in your home is definitely one of the best way to save on your energy bill. At the same time you want to feel well in a warm home during winter time. My current thermostat only allows a static programmation: I can define a day temperature (around 19°/20° to not heat
Cypress Semiconductor PSoC® 6 BLE Prototyping Board (CY8CPROTO-063-BLE) is a low-cost hardware platform enabling design and debugging of PSoC 6 MCU based applications. The PSoC 6 BLE Prototyping Board provides easy access to all the device I/Os in a breadboard-compatible format, and includes an LED, a push button, and current measuring jumpers. This Board is

We were struck by how attractive [mircemk’s] Arduino-based frequency counter looks. It also is a reasonably simple build. It can count up to 6.5 MHz which isn’t that much, but there’s a lot you can do even with that limitation. The LED display is decidedly retro. Inside a very modern Arduino Nano does most of the

Ever felt the need to have a tiny, yet functional, RGB backlit keyboard, no bigger than the size of a single key? No? Who cares, make one anyway! This instructable will guide you through the steps you need to make your very own, slightly useless, one button keyboard. Step 1: Parts and Tools To make
I accumulated several printers, why… because it was cheaper to continuously buy new ones than buy the ink for the old ones. Anyways, I got tired of stacking them up in the corner and decided to pull them apart. They were a treasure trove of parts, including these nifty LED tubes. After closer investigation, I
Introduction Arduino is an open-source microcontroller, which has positively influenced the education field and time management for students. It operates a specific program to perform a specific task. Arduino software helps students schedule their study year and improve the quality of education, along with several other learning benefits.

The band Kraftwerk hit the music scene with its unique electronic sound in the 70s in Germany, opening the door for the electronic music revolution of the following decade. If you’re not familiar with the band, they often had songs with a technology theme as well, and thanks to modern microcontroller technology it’s possible to replicate
A year or so ago, I wrote up an Instructable about installing a bunch of LEDs in a Lego Mini Cooper. The innovation, such as it was, was that the LEDs could be controlled with a smartphone (or through any web browser, for that matter). As I laboriously described in that Instructable, most of the effort back
I was recently reserching on LEDs and I stumbled upon this page as I read it I found that LEDs are not just used to emit light but the also have the ability to sense light.At first using LED as light sensor sounds complicated but it quiet quickly becomes clear. This is a fun project in
