As most guys I don’t tell my wife that “I love you” as often as I should, but this little gadget will at least improve that situation as bit. So by combining a nice box and some hardcore electronics nerdiness I’ve made a nice christmas gift for my wife. The LoveBox is a small box […]

This project uses green surface-mount LED’s along with an AVR ATTiny45 microcontroller to simulate the behavior of fireflies in a jar. https://youtu.be/UeL0LC2IgpQ (note: the firefly behavior in this video has been greatly sped up in order to be easier to represent in a short film. The default behavior has significantly more variance in its brightness and delay

video Fire-free LED Matchstick I just completed a new project: a fire-free and fire-safe LED matchstick. To light this matchstick you strike it against a normal matchbox filled with neodymium magnets. The LED matchstick has an inductive sensor that detects the magnetic field as you strike the matchstick against the matchbox and it lights up a LED in a

When I ran across the Jar of Fireflies Instructable sometime this past summer, I knew I had to build it. Full credit to Keso for an excellent set of instructions! I wouldn’t have gotten to the point of developing the firefly behavior without such a solid base for building the hardware, as well as firmware to start it out with.

Gotta love microcontrollers.They do lots of stuff … you can find them in computer mice , traffic lights , toys , and almost all electronic devices nowadays. Well , this is a project that pushes an 8-bit ATMega32 microcontroller to the limits. As you guessed from the title , it is a game system. Here

Play a prank on your friends (enemies?) by hiding a high-pitched beeper which sounds off at random time intervals. This instructable uses minimal parts. All that is required is: battery microcontroller speaker Why don’t I just use a 555 timer chip? You certainly could. I like this method because: 1. The ability to beep at random intervals 2.

GuGaplexing is a new LED display multiplexing technique. Compared to Charlieplexing, GuGaplexing allows you to control twice as many LEDs, with just a few additional components. GuGaplexed Valentine LED Heart project has 40 LEDs arranged in an ‘Arrow Piercing a Heart” arrangement using only 5 pins of a microcontroller. The project uses an AVR ATTiny13V Microcontroller. All the 6 I/O pins

Not everyone wants to look like an athlete while cycling to work or school. This cycling-jacket, made of hemp and wool, is equipped with lots of shining bright LEDs. It looks just as good during the day as it does during the night. Embedding the Arduino Lilypad electronics in the jacket, makes it at practical
