After posting the Backpack NeoPixel LED Safety Light project (https://www.codrey.com/arduino-projects/backpack-neopixel-led-safety-light/), I received a lot of requests to publish another do it yourself project based on regular light-emitting diodes, instead of using NeoPixel LEDs. So, I […]
This little post covers the construction details of sound reactive pixels which is pretty enjoyable to build and watch. You can embed it in a lot of things, for example, think about gluing it in […]
I was after a cheap windproof electric lighter to use in and around the home. Well, they are cheap enough to buy heaps of them, so I bought a pair of USB cigarette lighters to […]
After a little bit of research, I discovered that building a portable ultrasonic distance meter using Arduino was indeed a very simple task. I was surprised to discover that integrating a tiny OLED display into […]
Now is the time to make something that lights up! As promised in one of my previous posts, I’m sharing some crude design ideas for making your own coaster that wakes up as it listens […]
Sometimes ago I wrote an introduction to Raspberry Pi Pico. Today I will show how to exploit its pulse width modulation features. However, if you want to do some serious projects starting from this blog […]
Raspberry Pi Pico is a microcontroller board from the Raspberry Pi foundation. It is an exciting new microcontroller board launched on January 21, 2021, based on the RP2040 micro-controller by the Raspberry Pi Foundation sporting […]
The theory behind generating square wave is almost a trivial thing! A square wave is a signal that changes between high and low state where the primary requirement is that the on-time (high state) and […]
This article shows you how to use reverse voltage protection with minimal power loss in your electronics projects running on a battery/DC power supply. In fact, for a long time, I wanted to put together […]
We’ve controlled electrical appliances through a number of wired and wireless control methods. That’s okay but how about controlling them with the alarm signal of a cheapo quartz table clock? This article demonstrates the simple […]
