Ambient lighting systems provide accent and subtlety to homes, and are also a favorite of designers of luxury products wishing to highlight their wares. Apple stores, for example, use white light with ...

Here is a simple Arduino Camping Light project. In this design, only one push button switch is used to control the light output (from a bunch of white LEDs) between off, dim, medium, and full ...

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 ...

I had to learn to walk before I could run.

This week I will outline a project for Halloween that uses the Arduino and a light to create a glowing effect inside a pumpkin. I use artificial pumpkins for projects like this so I can reuse them in ...

Most of us have an 8x8 LED matrix from one of our Arduino kits. What can we do with them? This module investigates how to use these interesting devices. Along the way, we describe a fun electronics ...

Anyone looking to soup up their rock band's stage presence—or maybe enhance an otherwise drab LAN party this weekend? A group of MIT engineers have posted instructions for hacking together a Saiko5 Wi ...

For prototyping, Infineon has a RGB LED lighting control shield for Arduino, based around its ARM Cortex-M0 XMC1202 microcontroller. On board is something called a ‘brightness colour control unit’ ...

You too can paint your favorite meme in light with just a few tools. [Skywodd] brought together a couple of different projects to make this happen. He had already built a large POV display and now ...

Infineon has announced two shields for the Arduino design community. The shields target RGB lighting and motor control. Until the end of January, both Shields, the RGB Lighting Shield with XMC1202 for ...
