In this article I will add some simple Arduino LED projects starting with basic ones like how to turn on an LED, blinking, and more. Every step will have the code, the schematic, photos of the project ...

The Arduino has long been a staple of the maker community. Longer than 3D printing has been as popular as it is, in fact. So, ...

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 ...

Normally, when a project calls for addressable LEDs, we just throw a strip of WS2812s and an Arduino together, cobble together some code from the examples in the FastLED library, and call it a day. We ...

Arduino is one of those boards that has become synonymous with hacking and making. Since its introduction in 2005, over 700,000 official Arduino boards have been sold, along with untold millions of ...

I'm taking the liberty of starting a new thread for Arduino projects, as I couldn't find one dedicated to this, and figure that there may be a few people around here who do this sort of thing. If this ...
