Being the giant fan of LED’s that I am i’m always trying to come up with new ways I can put them throughout my house. Today i’m going to show you how to create a simple, yet extremely eye catching, RGB Bluetooth controlled Shelf lighting system. The beauty of integrating Bluetooth into the system is …
Step 1: Gather the materials Materials: – addressable RGB LED strip : I used a new variety of three conductor WS2811 strips. – an Arduino : I used a Arduino Leonardo. Any 5vdc Arduino should be adequate. – 4 AA batteries and a battery holder are a nice touch to make it more portable. – …

This was my very first arduino project. Its great for beginners. Fade the color or the lights my moving your hands near it. It fades from a pretty purple blue to a firey red-orange. Its was SUPER easy to build, not to hard to write the code, and its really impresses people! I gave it …
After we came up with the Bi-color LED Matrix Driver Module kit, we have been looking around for interesting projects to work with it. You may be interested in some of the projects we have put up at instructables using this LED Matrix kit. Instructable to build a Arduino (SPI) 7 Bi-color LED Matrix Scrolling Text Display …

Hello everyone, and welcome to my Instructable! This instructable will show you how I made the first ever DIY Arduino controlled “LED Kaleidoscope”! What is an LED kaleidoscope? Well, our traditional kaleidoscopes used 3 mirrors joined as a triangle with stuff like sequins and stolen cake decorations at one end, to create an awesome pattern …

Lumileds has added news LEDs to its Luxeon IR Domed Line with a significant increase in both DC and pulse drive current–up to 1.5A and 5.0A, respectively. The new emitters deliver radiant power of 1350mW at 850nm wavelength (slightly visible) or 1450mW at 940nm (invisible or covert IR). These new IR LEDs are engineered to …

Overview: I’ve often thought that a lighthouse would make a great project for an Arduino, and so I decided to give it a try using one of the local lighthouses here in Erie, Pennsylvania as inspiration. I chose the North Pierhead Lighthouse that guards the entrance to Presque Isle Bay. The model features a white LED beacon, …
Here is how to connect a motor, a switch and an LED to your Arduino and how to do some checking to make sure that everything works. The strategy is to get the circuit going in stages, testing each part as you go. Once everything is wired correctly and can be either controlled or read …
LED Cubes are awesome. The first one I created was a 8x8x8 blue led cube. It still works like a charm. But being able to display every colour in the spectrum is much more spectacular. Let’s start with a small and simple 4x4x4 RGB LED Cube. Step 1: Watch part 1 of the video series! …
