We create NeoPixel light installations with Fishino and NodeMCU controlled via Wi-Fi from a PC or Raspberry Pi using a Python library. A few years ago, the American company Adafruit Industries transformed the LED market by introducing NeoPixels, RGB LEDs that incorporate their own controller in a single package. Adafruit aimed to simplify LED management…
The Serial Plotter in Arduino is an excellent tool for quickly visualizing serial data. However, it has a limitation that can frustrate many users: it’s not immediately obvious how to adjust the X and Y axis scales, especially the X axis. In this article, I will guide you step by step on how to solve…
Project to create a digital clock consisting of 24 3D-printed analog clocks. The clock displays the time in digital format and shows animations between each hour. The clock is composed of 3D-printed parts, 25 Arduino Nano boards, and 48 stepper motors, and each dial uses a custom-designed PCB created with Eagle. The clock…
Project of a controller that maps body movements and reproduces them in the game Minecraft to achieve a low-cost augmented reality-like experience. Unlike many other controllers of this type, this device also reproduces realistic walking in the game, where every meter walked in real life corresponds to a meter walked in Minecraft. The device…
With Christmas just a few hours away and no snow in sight, we present to you this scenic snowflake created using LEDs and controlled by Arduino. The application itself is quite simple, but the construction method makes this snowflake truly unique.
The Segstick project is a do-it-yourself construction of a self-balancing vehicle based on Arduino. It uses an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and two motor drivers. The project was created using a broomstick and two cordless DeWalt drills. It may not be the best self-balancing DIY vehicle ever made, but it was built in just two…
In this video, IoT (Internet of Things) is introduced, which literally means “internet of things.” The video begins with an introduction to IoT and then provides an overview of its application fields. Subsequently, it delves into discussing the hardware required to make a device capable of connecting to the internet, specifically analyzing two boards:…
We place metal foil notes on a panel and play our music by touching them, creating a melody from a truly original instrument. Those who know a little about music or have good memories of the “music education” hours at secondary school (or secondary school, to put it in a modern way), will certainly…
Arcade games have captivated entire generations. Tasty Cakes is among those who have spent hours and hours playing these games. The passion was so great that they decided to replicate the Arcade Grand Piano Keys using an LED matrix and an Arduino Micro. The author has made all the code and 3D files available for…
Connect our ESP32 Demoboard to Arduino IoT Cloud to remotely monitor and control sensors via a web dashboard. In this free webinar, Fabrizio Mirabito (IoT Cloud Manager at Arduino) will demonstrate how to connect the ESP32 to the cloud, enabling remote monitoring and control of sensors and actuators through a web dashboard. For this purpose,…
Building a robot can be a challenging task, even for the most experienced in the field, due to the difficulty of achieving smooth and precise movement through programming. Build Some Stuff decided to not only design their own robot, but to do so using the least number of prefabricated parts possible, keeping the total cost…
If you are a lover of Retrogaming and do not have the possibility to use the original controllers with the cable, this project is for you. Specifically, an adapter has been built that allows you to use a PlayStation 3 controller on the Nintendo Gamecube in a completely wireless way. The adapter consists of an…
