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 ...

Here is a simple Arduino Camping Light project. In this design, only one push button switch is used to control the light output (from a bunch of white LEDs) between off, dim, medium, and full ...

The MacLight is an awesome Arduino project created by Adam Howard, a computer science major at Bournemouth University. For those not in the know, an Arduino is an open-source single-board ...

Now we can stepped into the light with our favorite microcontroller Arduino! Since a vast number of analog/digital ambient light sensors/light sensor modules are now available at reasonable price, ...

The Arduino is a cheap electronics board that allows you to make your own electronics without a ton of coding experience. We love the Arduino, but like any electronics project, coming up with ideas ...

As if you already weren’t agonizing over whether or not you should build your own arcade cabinet, add this one to the list of compelling reasons why you should dedicate an unreasonable amount of ...

With their cheap price tags, massive I/O provisions, and low power consumption, microcontrollers like the uber-popular ...

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 ...

Despite their similar sizes and affordable prices, microcontrollers and single-board computers have vastly different specifications and use cases. After all, MCUs are designed for circuitry, ...

When it comes to performance, there's a world of difference between the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. The former, after all, is technically a fully functional computer that can run games, word processors, ...

I'm a fan of Lego robotics. I've written over half a dozen books on the Lego Mindstorms NXT robotic system, and tinkering and prototyping with the NXT just never gets old. (And there's a NEW system ...

For some, Halloween is starting to rival Christmas for setting up elaborate holiday decorations. Homeowners now spend many hours─and sometimes dollars─creating ghoulish displays of lit pumpkins, ...
