Arduino Basics

  Description This is a fun project that will surely impress anyone you make this for. If you are having a "Disco" themed party, you cannot have a boring old cake. Let me tell you, this is probably the only Arduino project that my wife has ever been willing to be a part of. She did the hard work of putting the cake together, and I, well.... I was in charge of lighting. My biggest fear was that one of the wires would come loose and ruin the event at the most critical moment... While a wire did come loose, I managed to fix it in time before the guests arrived. Ok enough of my monologue, let me show you how to make one of these things.   Parts Required: Arduino UNO (or compatible board) 4 x WS2812-B Programmable Colorful LED Board 330 ohm resistor 4700 uF 16V Electrolytic Capacitor Breadboar...

Description Long straight lines of LED luminescence is nice, but sometimes you may want to light up something that has an unusual shape, or is not so linear. This is where the 12mm diffused flat digital RGB LED Pixels can come into play. This cool strand of 25 RGB LED pixels fit nicely into 12mm pre-drilled holes of any material you like. This tutorial is dedicated to making a LED Light Box. I wanted the box to be equally as interesting during the day as it was at night. If you decide you make your own, feel free to be as creative as you want !! However, if you lack artistic acumen, you may need to source a minion or two. Parts Required: LED Circuit: Arduino UNO (or compatible board) 12mm Diffused Flat Digital RGB LED Pixels (Strand of 25) PowerTran 5V DC 4A Plugpack with 2.1mm tip 2.1mm Screw Terminal, DC Power Line socket Breadboard Breadboard jumper wi...

Project Description In this project, your heart will control a mesmerising LED sequence on a 5 metre Neopixel LED strip with a ws2812B chipset . Every heart beat will trigger a LED animation that will keep you captivated and attached to your Arduino for ages. The good thing about this project is that it is relatively easy to set up, and requires no soldering. The hardest part is downloading and installing the FastLED library into the Arduino IDE, but that in itself is not too difficult. The inspiration and idea behind this project came from Ali Murtaza , who wanted to know how to get an LED strip to pulse to his heart beat. &nbsp Have a look at the video below to see this project in action.       The Video       Parts Required: Arduino UNO (or compatible board) NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Weatherpr...
