Breakthrough in LED construction increases efficiency by 57 percent

With LEDs being the preferred long-lasting, low-energy method for replacing less efficient forms of lighting, their uptake has dramatically increased over the past few years. However, despite their luminous outputs having increased steadily over that time, they still fall behind more conventional forms of lighting in terms of brightness. Researchers at Princeton University claim to […]

Getting Started With the Particle Photon Internet Controlled LEDs

Getting Started With the Particle Photon (Internet Controlled LEDs)

In the previous instructable I showed you how to get started with IoT using the nodeMCU, in this instructable I will be featuring the Particle Photon which is an easy to use IoT device to get started with designing IoT projects. The particle photon is smaller than the nodeMCU and features STM32 ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller on

Jar of Fireflies

Jar of Fireflies

This project uses green surface-mount LED’s along with an AVR ATTiny45 microcontroller to simulate the behavior of fireflies in a jar. (note: the firefly behavior in this video has been greatly sped up in order to be easier to represent in a short film. The default behavior has significantly more variance in its brightness and
