Looking for a simple circuit to control the light intensity of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) or similar lighting sources? Here is an Arduino based circuit with three independent pulse width modulated ...

Infineon's RGB LED Lighting Shield is one two of Arduino-based evaluation boards created to showcase the capabilities of its ARM-based XMC1000 MCUs in lighting and motor control applications. Unlike ...

Getting an old traffic light and wiring it up to do its thing inside your house isn’t exactly a new trick; it’s so common that it wouldn’t normally pass muster for these hallowed pages. Even using one ...

[Kerry Wong] comes across the coolest hardware, and always manages to do something interesting with it. His widget du jour is an old demo board for a digital RF attenuator chip, which can pad a signal ...

Just another gizmo I've whipped up in my office of insanity. I expect most of you won't have any idea why you'd want to build one of these, so I'll try to explain up front. Suffice it to say, "I find ...

This article introduces a DALI 2.0 slave software stack for XMC 1000 microcontrollers. This stack was developed by Infineon in close cooperation with Xenerqi and accelerates design of LED lighting ...

Think "theramin" and what comes to mind? The Doctor Who music? Or the original Star Trek theme? Or perhaps even Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys? Well, actually none of them uses a theremin, contrary ...

This week I will outline a project for Halloween that uses the Arduino and a light to create a glowing effect inside a pumpkin. I use artificial pumpkins for projects like this so I can reuse them in ...

There are plenty of software applications and services available to monitor servers, alerting you if you have a problem. But none of them come close to the awesomeness of this traffic light server ...
