August 22, 2016. Cyclist’s LED Pixel Clock Has No Fat Around The Middle. July 27, 2016. If you like LED clocks and illuminated bicycle wheels, [Harald Coeleveld] has just the right weekend project for you. His RGB pixel LED clock. Is as simple as it is beautiful, and it can be built in no time: The minimalist and sporty design consist of not much more than a LED strip wrapped around a bicycle wheel rim. The Arduino code for this build can be downloaded from the project page. Posted in clock hacks. The sa...

August 22, 2016. Arduino weather-station to Internet bridge. November 30, 2011. Here’s a project that looks to eliminate the PC necessary for pushing weather station data to the Internet. When you think about it, getting data from your own weather sensing hardware to a site like Weather Underground doesn’t require very much processing at all. The largest chunk of the puzzle is a window to the Internet, and that can be easily accomplished with a microcontroller rather than an always-on computer. Also, usi...

August 22, 2016. An Extemely Unique Weather Display. November 15, 2012. Most home weather displays use an LED screen or other moderately interesting methods of showing you what’s going on outside. The [Tempescope]. However, takes an entirely different route, actually recreating a tiny weather environment on your bookshelf! Tomorrow’s weather. What is even more interesting is that using [World Weather] software, it’s able to simulate the weather on any place on earth. Posted in Arduino Hacks. If you owned...

August 22, 2016. Roll your own capacitors. May 9, 2011. Rolling your own electronics components can be fun, but can also help in explaining how certain items actually work. [Addie] from The Toymakers recently set off to figure out how capacitors work, by making her own. She kept at it and found success after using several feet of foil to construct her capacitor. She charged it with a handful of AA batteries and was excited to see her multimeter come to life when she touched the leads to the cap. I know h...
