“In this instructable I will show you how to build your own infinity mirror clock! It’s really awesome, cheap and easy, no arduino or soldering needed! I used a Mickey Mouse alarm clock from Disneyland. It was old and …

Experimenting with Arduino and IKEA DIODER LED Strips

“A few weeks ago I found a DIODER LED strip set from a long-ago trek to IKEA, and considered that something could be done with it. So in this article you can see how easy it is to control the …

LED detects light

Today we will build a circuit that uses an LED in a curious way - to detect brightness. We all know that LEDs have a certain color but some of these LEDs can also detect light. Obviously they do not have …

Comparator - Night Light

In the circuit of this article we will build a voltage comparator using an integrated chip called LM393. The LM393 is a dual difference comparator. This means that you have two independent voltage comparators. The circuit compares the input voltages …

Charlieplexing

Today’s circuit aims to control quite a few LEDs with few pins and without using other integrated chips. The technique used is called charlieplexing and was proposed in 1994 by Charlie Allen of Maxim, having nevertheless been the subject …

7-Segment and 8x8 Matrix LED Controls

Sending information from the micro-controller to the user is extremely important to help in the interaction between the two. The use of 7 Segment LEDs is a common practice since they are simple to use devices that allow the sending …

24 LED Control

The circuit presented today is a circuit built with 3 Shift Registers - 74HC595. This circuit allows controlling up to 24 outputs - in the case of LEDs and controlling them independently. A CSEduino was used to control the 24 outputs. Since …

2 Transistor LED Flasher

Building of two circuits that flash alternately to two LEDs at a fixed cadence. These are very basic circuits and they show two ways of building circuits using transistors BJT PNP and NPN. These are classic circuits that use the …
