Prototype interactive dance floor using the Teensy's built-in capacitive touch pins and XBee Series 1s configured for I/O line passing.
The concept is nothing new and has multiple times been proven to not work. But that's not stopping me as I set out to build a solar-powered fan to circulate warm air out of the car when parked for long periods of time.
I was recently approached by music producer Decadon to add lights to an already custom guitar to make it even more one-of-a-kind. Let's check out some of the challenges I faced.
Let's add some electricity to your favorite things. I take a LEGO® speeder from Star Wars® and use Arduino to give it a little something extra.
Here at SparkFun, we love our dogs. When we searched deep in our dog-loving hearts, we found one true question: What if they could talk?
What an internship at SparkFun is like, the projects I've been up to, and the lessons learned so far.
Try adding a LED strip to your 3D printer for better lighting with this quick and simple solution!
There's no right answer whether or not to use modules or sub-assemblies; both options carry risks and rewards. Today I cover those options and what to consider when faced with this decision.
It took a year to take a mess of wires, hardware and WiFi dependency and turn it into a new solution to monitor plants and the environment anywhere without a WiFi password. This is BLE-IOP.
A re-creation of our Simon Says Soldering Kit using trampolines, spot lights and a ton of new sounds!
Let's figure out just how fast we can push data through APA102 pixels. Then let's look at what we can do with super fast lights.
Kids love Minecraft and things that glow in the dark - here's a fun project to get your littles involved with electronics!
Diamonds are... forever? My experiences 3D printing a translucent diamond theatrical prop for a choreographed piece with LEDs and capacitive touch sensing.
