In the maker world, only boredom is truly ugly. Prevent boredom with horrible, smart flashy lights!!! Things used in this project Hardware components Arduino MKR1000 × 1 LED string lights (battery-powered) × 1 General Purpose Transistor NPN I used the PN2222A (bought from Adafruit). × 1 5V USB Battery Pack × 1 Story This sweater […]

This small Python script takes a KiCAD board (.kicad_pcb file) and produces a 2D nice looking drawing of the board as an SVG file. This allows you to quickly and automatically create awesome pinout diagrams for your project. These diagrams are much easier to read than a labeled photo of a physical board or an

Control any of the 55 RGB LEDs on the tree, let Santa twerk for you, control a model railroad, or display custom text on a LED dot matrix. Story Ooooops.. I think I made a mistake and accidentally posted the project twice, on “Arduino Create” AND “Hackster.io”. Please visit: this site to read about our

Light propagating in a layer of scattering nanoparticles, shows the principles of diffusion – like tea particles in hot water. The deeper light is penetrating into the layer, the lower the energy density. Scientists of University of Twente’s Complex Photonics Group, however, manage to turn this falling diffusion curve into a rising one, by manipulating

Controlling LEDs with voice command seems to be a difficult task, but it’s easy and you can quickly build it. We just need an Arduino UNO to serially communicate with HC-06 Bluetooth module and a smartphone to send voice command to Bluetooth module HC-06. For receiving voice command we are using “Arduino Bluetooth Voice Controller”

This IoT system monitors the soil moisture using Arduino and sensors. Data are sent to an IoT cloud platform to access it anywhere. Things used in this project Hardware components Arduino MKR1000 × 1 SparkFun Soil Moisture Sensor (with Screw Terminals) × 1 Software apps and online services IFTTT Maker service Story This IoT system monitors the

In this project, we will use the digital pins and screen of the 4Duino to create a 5×7 LED matrix controller with a user graphical interface. An LED matrix is essentially many LEDs packaged in a dot grid format in order to produce pictures or large text. They’re commonly used for signage purposes in the

This is an electronic input switcher for amateur DJ’s who are running short on inputs on the audio mixer. It allows you to connect 2 inputs to channel 1 and 2 each, and 3 inputs to channel 3. Each input channel has a toggle switch and 2 or 3 LEDs indicating the active input. The actual
The DJ Switcher Continue Reading
By using arduino and IR Receiver TSOP 1738 (in our project, you can use any ir receiver available) we can decode any infrared remote code into hex or some other format. Before constructing the circuit check datasheet of IR receiver having in your hand, hence you can connect proper bias pins and output pin. Step
