A new version of the popular OpenMV H7 is here, along with a new TFMini LiDAR Module and a string of addressable lights!
Sometimes you need the real-time interaction that only a meeting can provide. Keep family members from wandering in on your important meetings with this simple alert!
Facing the daunting task of wiring together 192 of the same I2C sensor inspired a creative solution.
It's a big Friday with a new XBee 3 Wireless Kit, new versions of the NVIDIA DLI Course Kit, Pirate Audio boards from Pimoroni, and LEDs!
I have finally gotten the hardware in (mostly) working order for my wacky fiber optic light suit. Let's check out what I've done!
We’ve put together a page dedicated to LEDs! Size, shape color, brightness, power and more are all explained in-depth!
Details from a project upgrading an old incandescent lamp to utilize addressable LEDs
We collected over two hundred retired testbeds and turned them into art! Join us as we highlight this project and tell some of the stories behind these dusty old circuit boards.
This summer I went on a tear setting up connected devices in my house with one goal; simplifying the mundane tasks of owning a house. The whole project has got me automating as much as I can, but also non-connected solutions are springing up as well. In this Enginursday, I build a roof over my new connected outdoor outlet.
Do you need an LED? The answer is always yes. But what if you need one right now? Build yourself an LED gumball machine and never run out again!
Using EL once again for my students' performance using a glove controller, XBees, EL sequencers and Arduino.
The new Qwiic Scale is now available along with a new TFT LCD Breakout. We have new shirt designs for you to try on! We also are bringing you a fresh new ruler and two APA104 LED strips!
