In this Instructable, we’re going to be making a Tic Tac Toe or Noughts and Crosses shield for an Arduino that allows you to play against another person or an AI player running on the Arduino. The game board is made up of a 3×3 grid of RGB LEDs that light up green or blue […]

In search for a compact and reliable LiDAR solution, researchers from Yokohama National University in Japan have developed a waveguide-based photonic chip that takes a laser beam as an input and steers light beams over a wide range of selectable angles, without involving any moving parts, not even MEMS. by Julien Happich @ eenewseurope.com Their results

Now a days we are spending a lot of time at home, studying and working virtualy, so why not to make our workspace greater with a custom and smart lighting system Arduino and Ws2812b LEDs based. Here I show you how build your Smart Desk LED Light that you can control with an IR remote

This pandemic time has been rough for us all, as it confined us in our homes thus not enabling the opportunity to go outside and meet with family and friends to engage in fun activities of all sorts, such as going to your nearby arcade to play some fun classic arcade games. However, what if

This nightlight doubles as a trap to catch monsters under the bed! Before you go to sleep at night, place it under your bed and it will catch any monster under there. It even keeps a light on all night to make sure new monsters stay away. This Instructable makes a great project for parents

I recently had my kitchen updated and knew that lighting would ‘lift’ the look of the cupboards. I went for ‘True Handless’ so I have a gap under the work surface, as well as a kickboard, under cupboard and on the top of the cupboards available and wanted to light them up. After looking around

Researchers at Tohoku University in Japan have developed a new low-cost flat panel light source that could pioneer a new generation of brighter, cheaper and greener lighting devices to rival LEDs. The device uses arrays of highly conductive carbon nanotubes to deliver evenly-distributed illumination with high efficiency and a power consumption as low as 0.1
Cheap, ultra low-power light source runs on just 0.1 Watts Continue Reading
Last week, we learnt about the basic structure of an Arduino program and took a closer look at the ‘blink’ example. Hopefully you took the opportunity to experiment with code, adjusting the timings. This time, we’ll be writing something from scratch. In fact, let’s make a traffic light. Apart from the basic Arduino, you’ll need:

Arduino & Visual Basic 6 Light Controller This project illustrates an early attempt at bridging Visual Basic 6 (VB6) with the Arduino platform through serial communication over a USB interface. While the concept originated as a beginner’s exercise in VB6 after only two weeks of learning, it highlights important principles of cross-platform interaction, string parsing,

A couple of months ago I picked up cheap WiFi-controlled LED bulbs (one among dozens of very similar devices), after seeing them at a friend’s place. This turned out to be an excuse to play with the ESP8266, which has inspired several hacks. I was overall very happy with these bulbs: decent Android and iOS apps and, compared to fancier
