Arduino M0 Pro The Arduino M0 Pro —initially called Zero Pro— board is a major revision of the Arduino line as it is the first Arduino board to feature a debugger. The board is designed around the 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ SAMD21 from Atmel and built in Italy. The EDBG chip from Atmel provides the debugging capabilities. The SAMD21 MCU features […]
Persistence of vision is an optical illusion, it works on a simple phenomenon how our day to day television works. MY first pov was six months before with arduino uno and with motor. However it is best to have a small and portable device that can be carried anywhere and image can be seen without
Small enough to slip in a mint tin, yet loud enough to be heard across a house at only a few dollars per unit. A nice combination for a pretty good prank! Let’s dive in! Step One: The Circuit You can purchase the printed circuit board from OSH Park using the link in the parts

– Arduino Uno ($25) – 32 x 16 LED Matrix ($20) – Breadboard ($5) – Jumper Cables ($5) – USB A to B Cable ($3) – Computer – 5V 2Amp Power Supply ($10) – A basic understanding of coding in C In order to create this project, many physical materials are necessary, a lot of
In past tutorials, we have covered temperature, color, time, direction, but never distance or proximity. I think I strayed away from this because most of the lower cost proximity sensors are pretty drop-dead-simple to use and thought it might not be that useful. But the time has come, I’m writing about some distance/proximity sensors. While
Are we getting close? Proximity Sensors + Arduino Continue Reading
The objective of this post is to explain how to fade a LED with the ESP32, using the LED PWM functionalities. Introduction The objective of this post is to explain how to fade a LED with the ESP32, using the LED PWM functionalities of the microcontroller. I will be using DFRobot’s FireBeetle ESP32 board to
A year ago we had an article called Sensing color with the ADJD-S371. Well the ADJD-S371 is long gone, and its replacement is the ADJD-S311 (breakout board available from sparkfun). It is basically the same all around, so without shame, I will be copying a lot of that article, because… Why reinvent the wheel? A
The 2014 NC Maker Faire was a huge turning point for Maniacal Labs. It was there that the idea for the AllPixel and what is now BiblioPixel got their start. It’s also where we showed off our first custom-built LED display, the 24×24 LPD8806 matrix. At nearly 24 inches square, and 1 pixel per inch,
This is something I use all the time, so I figured I would share it with you. Controlling an Arduino over serial can be extremely simple if you let it, and extremely useful if you know how to use it. Many languages such as Processing and ActionScript 3 (with a proxy) have ways to communicate
Turn on a light, or 10. Arduino control over serial Continue Reading
The LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) are diodes whose basic characteristic is the ability to emit light when they are passed through a current that flows from P to N region. At each recombination between the charge carriers (electrons and holes), on PN junction region, a photo emission is generated, and the total quantity of emitted
