The last couple of years I started learning about electronics from nothing to be able to build my own MIDI controllers that would serve my needs , taste and be cheaper overall in comparison with the branded products.This is CRIUS ROT8 MIDI CONTROLLER that consists of 8 potentiometers and 3 buttons with which we can […]

There are so many authentic looking lightsaber build guides but not many on building a super long lightsaber. Regarding Star Wars, I’m not sure why lightsabers are normal sword size anyway. Its not like the longer the lightsaber, the harder it would be to swing. I assume they are essentially weightless. Just make it 10′

Now forgive my memory, as this was a few years back now. What started out as a children’s spaceship themed bed, turned into an epic build. Supplies The project started with the purchase of a single mattress. I then walked around the local DIY store and started to find shapes that I thought I could

I have toyed with the idea of building a clock for sometime and my sister had a big birthday coming up so I decided that this was a great opportunity to build a clock for her as a gift. My sister has a PhD in science and works as a science educator so I decided

Lumileds has added news LEDs to its Luxeon IR Domed Line with a significant increase in both DC and pulse drive current–up to 1.5A and 5.0A, respectively. The new emitters deliver radiant power of 1350mW at 850nm wavelength (slightly visible) or 1450mW at 940nm (invisible or covert IR). These new IR LEDs are engineered to
IR DOMED LEDS DELIVER UP TO 5.0A PULSED RADIANT POWER OVER 50° Continue Reading
Fibonacci numbers are seen in the natural structures of various plants, such as the florets in sunflower heads, areoles on cacti stems, and scales in pine cones. [HackerBox] has developed a Fibonacci Spiral LED Badge to bring this natural phenomenon to your electronics. To position each of the 64 addressable LEDs within the PCB layout, [HackerBox] computed

Grizzled veterans of the computing industry will relate stories of submitting projects on stacks of punched cards, something those of us who stored their 8-bit works on audio cassettes could only imagine. But for those who fancy experimenting with the format it’s still possible to make a basic card reader using LEDs and light sensors, as
PUNCHED CARDS ARE IN THE CLOUD, WITH THIS ARDUINO Continue Reading
Würth Elektronik High Power Ultraviolet LEDs deliver high intensity UV output in a compact, industry-standard, 3535 ceramic package. Available with 385nm, 395nm, and 405nm peak outputs, these LEDs are an ideal choice for UV systems for curing, printing, and adhesive coating. These LEDs can also be used for high current applications such as special lighting, counterfeit

This tutorial shows how to move two stepper motors so they will synchronously arrive at defined destination point. There are many sophisticated solutions for doing this such as GRBL or Marlin. Using an Arduino, there are also dedicated “Multi Stepper” libraries that can support you. However, we will use a more basic approach here making it as easy as possible

Join me in creating ground effect lighting for my scooter using a bluetooth microcontroller and addressable LED strip. For this project I’m recycling two bits of pixel strip leftover from my old POV bike project tutorial. These are APA102s or DotStars, but you could totally use Neopixels for this project, I just happened to have
