Star Jar Geiger counter triggered LED decoration using Arduino

This instructable builds on top of the Geiger counter triggered LED decorations I made last year. This version powers the Geiger counter from the Arduino (itself now powered from a mains adaptor, so I no longer need to keep feeding them batteries) and the LEDs now fade in and out for a more gentle effect. What …

16X PWM LED Fader Board (1)

Control Ikea Dioder LED Strip with Arduino + 16X PWM LED Fader Board using arduino

We’re going to show how to wire up and control an Ikea DIODER LED strip with an arduino, using a 16X PWM LED Fader board as an intermediary. The 16X PWM board is basically a bunch of mosfets under PWM control (switches that turn on and off really fast) that can be used to mix different levels of the …
