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 ...

I had this idea of building my own bicycle lighting system totally personalized, the lights would have the exact lighting ...

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 ...

Infineon's RGB LED Lighting Shield is one two of Arduino-based evaluation boards created to showcase the capabilities of its ARM-based XMC1000 MCUs in lighting and motor control applications. Unlike ...

[Dave] needed some extra light above his desk/workbench area and decided to wire up some RGB LED light strips to brighten the place up a bit. He wasn’t content with using a standard switch to toggle ...

Description: Using an Arduino or a micro controller we can generate cool looking patterns with an led strip with addressable LEDs. In this case I'm using an Arduino uno (clone board) and a strip of ...

Makers, developers and hobbyists that are looking for a low-cost Bluetooth Arduino compatible micro controller that can be controlled and programmed wirelessly may be interested to know that the ...

Geometric chuck was a particular device that stacked up a number of rotating wheels which vary in speed and their offset to a particular central shaft. This was in order to machine ornate designs ...

This week I will outline a project for Halloween that uses the Arduino and a light to create a glowing effect inside a pumpkin. I use artificial pumpkins for projects like this so I can reuse them in ...

One of the easiest tricks to keeping a house warm (or cool), is to open and close the blinds in time with the sun. Of course, that's only helpful if you're home all the time to do that. Instructables ...

This article introduces a DALI 2.0 slave software stack for XMC 1000 microcontrollers. This stack was developed by Infineon in close cooperation with Xenerqi and accelerates design of LED lighting ...

London-based roboticist Evangelos Georgiou wants to offer an open-source platform for helping Arduino hobbyists take their projects mobile, thanks to a remote controlled robot called the RK-1 that ...
