Today, we’re going to explore the uses of addressable LEDs. Addressable LED is an easy way to add complex lighting effects to any project. Each addressable LED has an integrated driver that allows you ...

These days, addressable LEDs are all the rage. A little chip paired with each LED receives signals and modulates the light output as needed. [John Peterson] was working on a project along these very ...

The WS2812, or “Neopixels”, or whatever you want to call them, are the standard when it comes to adding blinky to anything. These chips are individually addressable RGB LEDs, which you’ve seen in many ...

Renesas Electronics has announced five 16bit microcontrollers designed to implement in a single chip the LED control, power supply control, and communication functions required in LED lighting ...

The W78E052D microcontroller from Nuvoton (www.nuvoton.com) is a low-cost, feature-rich chip especially useful to electronics hobbyists and makers. One advantage of the Nuvoton W78E052D ...

The call for improved energy efficiency and government/energy code requirements continues to drive the need for greater use of lighting control. Effectively, flexible lighting control delivers the ...

Makers looking for a project to keep them busy this weekend may be interested in a simplified version of the Domino Wall Clock created by the Carbon Design Group. Instructables member Kothe has kindly ...
