Mood lamps are always fascinating for me and is a very good project for starters to start with Arduino. What is a Mood Lamp ? Mood lamps are lighting devices that are used to establish a particular feeling or mood within a room. In some cases, this type of lamp may be a small device […]
After over three years of research and field demos, a prototype of Osram’s EVIYOS smart, controllable, high resolution LED automotive headlamp was introduced at the International Symposium on Automotive Lighting earlier this year in Darmstadt, Germany. This smart LED headlamp is able to control its 1,024 LED “pixels” individually. The basic component of the EVIYOS combines an LED

Every curious how DVDs work? Interested in learning some simple analog electronics? This Instructables will show you how to make an optical disk display project in only a few hours. What is an optical disk? An optical disk stores data/information and can be read or displayed using light. You will learn about basic analog electronics,
This is a small size power supply based on OPA549 power op-amp that provides output voltage 1.2V to 25V with 0 to 10A adjustable current limit. Two onboard trimmer potentiometers provided to adjust the voltage and current, LED D1 is over temperature indicator. The circuit works with input supply of 30V DC and logic supply

Working with conductive fabric is fun and it’s ideal for wearables, soft circuitry, e-textiles and other projects that take advantage of it’s properties. Learning the basics will help you make design and material choices tailored to your application. This Instructable is jam-packed with insights from using it over the years as well as favorite resources
LED strips are a very fun and effective way to give lots of glow and color to a project. In this Instructable you will learn about the basic kinds of strips and how to hook them up to the Intel Edison with Arduino breakout board. These circuits include hardware needed for external power and how
I’ve been wanting to start exploring the world of microcontrollers and programming for some time now, so I came up with this simple project which uses an app called “Blynk” to allow you to wirelessly control an Arduino board through your wifi. Now obviously the end result isn’t the most practical device you’ll ever build,
Hobbyists, makers, students and pretty much everyone who works with electronics has encountered the same issue, not having a handy power supply to test their projects. Usually, controllable power supplies are big, expensive and for some people difficult to access, and most small power supplies are not controllable. As a result, Roberto Lo Giacco created
Flexipower – A portable, Controllable, Dual Channel Power Supply Continue Reading
Here is an Arduino controlled Charliplexed LED heart just in time for Valentine’s Day. It uses a total of 6 wires to controll the 27 LEDs. A PIC or AVR could easily be used for this, but I have Arduinos lying around and they are easy to program. Plus I want to be able to

Update 16.04.2015 just thought how would a “cool” kit look a like, so I get an altoids tin box eat all the thinks inside and put all necassary parts inside. 😉 a new project from good old Germany. I got some of those very popular FM radio modules at banggood.com, and was thinking how to
