August 21, 2016. Brighten Your Day with Motion Controlled Cabinet Light. March 16, 2015. Thomas Snow] found himself in a bit of a pickle. His kitchen lights didn’t adequately light his counter-tops. So instead of inventing a light bending device that could warp space-time enough to get the light where it needs to go, he decided to take the easy road and installed a motion controlled LED strip.

Programming, electronics and other cool tech stuff. Picoscope 2208B MSO Review. New Picotech 2208B Unboxing Video! IR signal recorder with Arduino Uno. BeagleBone Black GPIO Benchmark. Author's Home Page. Raspberry Pi GPIO Benchmark. V-USB with ATtiny45 / ATtiny85 without a crystal. One guy at Hack a Day remarked on the long wire runs in my V-USB tutorial breadboard setup. So I thought I’d build upon the part 4 of the tutorial. Main code changes needed are the change of pins to PORTB. Also, the oscil...

August 24, 2016. Keyless entry using touch sensing. October 20, 2008. Alex] sent us this slick little keyless entry system. One thing that is pretty cool about this is that it could be removed and reinstalled somewhere else in a matter of minutes. That’s good, since he’s in a dorm and would probably be in some trouble for damaging the door. It would be nice to see this put into an enclosure that hooked over the top of the door so it could be truly portable. Posted in Arduino Hacks. Taylor I think you mis...

August 21, 2016. Heroes of Hardware Revolution: Bob Widlar. April 8, 2014. The list of his designs includes gems such as µA709, improvement over original µA702 and a Fairchild’s flagship product for years, µA723 — first integrated voltage regulator and LM10 — the first ultra-low-voltage opamp, which is still in production today. Students usually learn about Widlar via the textbook-classic: Widlar Current Source. A key piece in many of his designs, and the Bandgap Voltage Reference. 5] http:/ analogfootst...

August 20, 2016. Arduino v. Arduino. February 25, 2015. Arduino LLC is suing Arduino Srl (the Italian version of an LLC). Sounds confusing? It gets juicier. What follows is a summary of the situation as we learned it from this article at MakeMagazin.de. According to this Italian Wired article. The cause of the split is that [Banzi] and the other three wanted to internationalize the brand and license production to other firms freely, while [Martino] and [Musto] at the company formerly known as Smart Proje...

August 20, 2016. How to Directly Program an Inexpensive ESP8266 WiFi Module. March 18, 2015. The ESP8266 is the answer to I want something with Wifi. Surprisingly, there are a number of engineers and hobbyists who have not heard of this chip or have heard of it but don’t really understand what it is. It’s basically the answer to everything IoT to so many engineering problems that have plagued the hobbyist and commercial world alike. It’s CHEAP, like $4/ea cheap! The range is insane 300m. Yes, that means ...

August 21, 2016. Ask Hackaday: Did you catch the Grammys? February 19, 2012. Although award shows aren’t necessarily our thing, [T. D.] sent in something that piqued our interest. His friends recently got back from the Grammy awards where they witnessed thousands of LED bracelets blinking in time to a performance by Coldplay. A little bit of YouTubing pulled up this video. That demonstrates the effect (because that video will probably be taken down shortly, just pick something from this link. 82 thoughts...
