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 ...

Regular candles can be awfully boring at times. They can only produce one color and the flicker is so… predictable. They can’t even be controlled by an infrared remote control, not to mention the ...

I would like to try running things using an ESP32-based board with Arduino. When it comes to running microcontrollers, the classic starting point is the "blink"—making an LED flash on and off—which is ...

I made this Arduino project that allows to turn ON and OFF LEDs using a cheap IR remote control as a preparation for the next big step: disassemble my girlfriend’s chinese LED lamp and replace its ...

In a previous article, I discussed LEDs in general and their properties. In this write-up, I want to give some examples of driving LEDs and comparing a few of the most commonly used methods. There is ...

The 8x13 blue LED matrix is also an example of using PWM to implement gray-level images. The LEDs are connected in a row/column layout in the form of a tree – the first row has one LED pair, the ...

Explore two new Elektor Academy Pro STM32 programming courses, featuring MicroPython and Arduino, as part of the Embedded ...

If you searching for an LED matrix for your next project or to add to an existing application you may be interested to know that the Maker LED Display is now available to purchase from the Crowd ...

Arduino has launched its next generation of UNO boards, introducing a 32-bit Renesas microcontroller and Espressif ESP32-S3 module, one-click cloud connectivity and plenty of I/O plus a 12×8 red LED ...
