Neopixel Night Light

“I’m giving some workshops in electronics in a few weeks, centered around an inexpensive, but useful real-world project. When trying to come up with a thing to make, I wanted it to involve a microcontroller, NeoPixel LEDs (because, they …

Arduino Powered Sunrise Alarm Clock with Neopixels

“I’m not a fan of getting up. I’m also often very tired in the mornings (and usually grumpy. But I digress.) I was doing some reading about how to get better sleep when I came across a guy …

Laser Painting with Motion Control and Arduino

“Do you like lasers, motion control, neo-pixels, or glow in the dark art? Of course you do, so why not combine them all! Using various supplies you can ‘paint’ a picture using laser light. Motion control will let you actuate …

LED Weather Words Forecast

“This project utilizes a 22 x 13 matrix of addressable RGB LEDs to visualize a weather forecast pulled from the Weather Underground API. A Raspberry Pi runs a python program designed to fetch weather forecast data from the API at …

A Smart Bike Lighting System Using Arduino

“This Arduino bike lighting project upgrades your bikes light and takes it to the next level so that the backlight of the bike automatically notifies others when you are turning. We used Arduino UNO as our main microcontroller (use Nano …

Feel the Force With Hover

“Have you dreamed of being a Jedi? Use the force to control a neoMatrix from Adafruit. In this example, we’re going to build a 3d force field by using the RGB feature of the neoMatrix. Here are the gestures …

Turing machine

“Turing machineTuring machine is a hypothetical machine which can run any computer algorithm. It is a theoretical model of a computer. Machine is hypothetical because it requires an infinite tape for reading/writing. Turing machine consists of (infinite) tape, read …

The NeoDisplay

“As most of the Arduino tinkering makers, I have some NeoPixels LEDs in my drawers. Especially the 8x8 NeoMatrix is a beautiful piece of illumination. But till now, I didnt have any good use for it yet. Time to make …

Make a Guggenhat: Bluetooth-connected wearable NeoPixel marquee hat

“Adafruits Bluefruit devices are hands-down the easiest way to get Arduino communicating over a Bluetooth wireless connection. Bluetooth LE is a great way to control a project from a smartphone or tablet. This simplicity could be illustrated with a scrolling …

Minimalistic Led Clock

“In this instructables, I will show you how to make a simple/minimalistic led clock. The clock shows 3 dots. One from the seconds (blue), one for the minutes (yellow) and one for the hours (red).”
