Step 1: IR library First you need to go to this page and download the IR library. You just need to follow the read me file to install. I think that any IR remote control can do this, I’ll be using a Philips Universal one. Step 2: Parts required Parts list: 1x Arduino 1x Breadboard […]

Pi-files: Frontdoor light switch based on local sunset/sunrise I have a couple of front door LED lights which I would like to switch on automatically during the evening/night. The two conventional methods that are commonly available had their disadvantages: A timer switch is the easiest and cheapest solution, but doesn’t take into account day light

Input devices consisting of optical readers for punched paper tape have been around since the earliest days of computing, so why stop now? [Jürgen]’s Paper Tape Reader project connects to any modern computer over USB, acting like a serial communications device. Thanks to the device’s automatic calibration, it works with a variety of paper materials. As for
PAPER TAPE READER SELF-CALIBRATES, SPEAKS USB Continue Reading
Recently I saw a documentary about the history of the television. And to my surprise they showed that there existed a mechanical television before the well known CRT televisions. Those mechanical televisions or televisors were pretty smart and simple. A CRT is simply an electron beam that scans a surface covered with a luminescent phosphor line by
A cardboard televisor (with arduino and LEDs) Continue Reading
From the Wemos D1 mini to the NodeMCU, the ESP8266 based boards are by far the most popular platform, among makers and hobbyist, for building WiFi based projects due to their low cost and general ease of use. For today’s tutorial, we will continue our exploration of the most popular of the ESP8266 based boards; the NodeMCU development board and we will

Screen technologies have evolved over the years since the cathode ray tube was first demonstrated in 1897, we have moved from plasma to LCDs, followed by LEDs, OLEDs, and more recently e-paper which is what we will look into today. Electronic paper/e-paper displays are display devices which were created to mimic the appearance of ink

Hello everyone, In this instructable we will be using Arduino And Relay module to control home appliances. This instructable covers: Basics of Relays. Connecting Relays with Arduino. Controlling AC appliances using Relays. How it works: The relay uses an electromagnet to mechanically switch electric appliances. A relay can be operated by a relatively small electric

Every job has it’s routine. I am a software developer who works with a Git/Maven based workspace everyday. So when I start working, my daily routine is to update and build my local workspace, pulling changes from GitHub, execute a maven build and execute the updated software. Usually I get my first coffee after that,
The Maven Box: an Arduino Controller for Software Developers Continue Reading
Tetris was a breakout hit when it was released for the Nintendo Game Boy in 1989, in much the same way that Breakout was a breakout hit in arcades in 1976. Despite this, gamers of today expect a little more than a tiny monochrome LCD with severe motion blur problems. Enter the LED Tetris build from [Electronoobs]. The build

Persistance of vision is a fun feature of the human visual system, which allows us to blink a bunch of spinning LEDs at the right time to spell out messages that appear to hang in the air. [TN_Inventor] took a stab at his own POV build, using an old desk fan as a base. The initial
