Sure, the physical build itself looks great, but it’s what [Michael] did with the firmware that impresses us the most. He’s using an Arduino Mega to drive the 7x7x7 cube and manages to squeeze out ...

In the previous chapter, we stored the current state in a variable and switched the LED operation mode every time the button was pressed.The signals sent to the LED so far have been of two types: HIGH ...

Regular candles can be awfully boring at times. They can only produce one color and the flicker is so… predictable. They can’t even be controlled by an infrared remote control, not to mention the ...

In the previous chapter, we used a light sensor to read the ambient brightness as a value from 0 to 1023.This time, we will ...

Looking for a simple circuit to control the light intensity of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) or similar lighting sources? Here is an Arduino based circuit with three independent pulse width modulated ...

In the last installment of The GeekDad Arduino Guide, I introduced you to the Arduino hardware and why it is so cool. Now, let’s start actually using an Arduino. How do you get started? Well, first ...

This is just a fun Arduino project that uses leds connected in circle as a ring to produce a rotation effect. You can adjust the spinning speed with a potentiometer and you can also set a minimum and ...

If you searching for an LED matrix for your next project or to add to an existing application you may be interested to know that the Maker LED Display is now available to purchase from the Crowd ...

Thank you for completing the survey! This guide will teach you how to run a sample sketch on your Intel® IoT board using the Arduino IDE. These instructions are geared toward the Intel® Edison module ...

You can get a long way just using the matrix library, but there is another library, ArduinoGraphics, that has additional functions that make the LED matrix really useful. However, at the time of ...
