If you wish to make your own strip using my code, I HIGHLY recommend doing your own research, as there was alot of calculations before I even purchased my components. The 5v pin on the Arduino does ...

Using an arduino uno plugged into my desktop, I set up a circuit using the diagram in Circuit.pdf. Use a breadboard or similar to wire it up and it works :) Make sure the ground is common but 12/24V ...

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 ...

One of the first projects that most people do on an Arduino is to light up or flash an LED. It seems ultra-simple because it ...

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 ...

I had the idea of building this Arduino icicle lights project during the making of the light dimmer circuit and the result can be seen below. Is not a complicated project so it can be done easily by ...

In the last installment of The GeekDad Arduino Guide, I introduced you to the Arduino hardware and why it is so cool. Now, let’s start actually using an Arduino. How do you get started? Well, first ...

Discover how the Arduino Opta Pro can be leveraged beyond its industrial roots for smart home and DIY automation. In my article, I share hands‑on insights, practical code examples, and hardware ...
