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…
Based on Neopixel and a special ultra-thin Arduino, it simulates the light produced by chimney flames As every year, the approach of the winter season stimulates our imagination and reminds us that electronics can do a lot, not only concretely (creating automatisms for indoor air conditioning) but also for pleasure and leisure; so here are…
Coral bleaching is one of the effects of global warming. The corals, once blooming with colours, are becoming pale, and reduced to white bones. The art pieces themselves were 3D printed corals, with LED strips inside it. Artificial lives, rainbows activated by electricity and codes. When you look at the art pieces from far…
This is an interactive Christmas diorama which, when you press a button/switch, lights up with Christmas colors and music! More info
It is normal that school is challenging and, at times, deeply so! But sometimes things really do get out of control, and students, unable to communicate to their teachers and advisors how they are feeling, can fall over the edge. It is at this point–when students are burnt out, sleep deprived, and even physically…
Every music practitioner desires a stage, but not everyone has a stage, and not everyone likes to participate in that kind of public stage. I want to create a new experience for music lovers. Whether it is practicing musical instruments, karaoke, or playing music, the stage will change different effects according to the rhythm….
The “light painting” consists in photographing moving light sources and thus obtaining very particular and creative images; in this project we see how to build a bright skateboard for this purpose. We used an Arduino Nano as a microcontroller, the case was 3d printed. We connected a button and a switch so that we could…
In this project we see how to make a lamp that can change its colour according to the environment, using the Arduino Nano microcontroller. We must therefore create an electronic circuit that takes a color as input and outputs the relative light. The most important material in this project is the TCS34725 RGB sensor (another…
In this project, we’ll create a status indicator PCB shield for the ESP32 featuring two rows of addressable RGB neopixel LEDs, a BME280 sensor, and a pushbutton. We’ll program the board to display a web server with the BME280 sensor readings and show the temperature and humidity range on the LEDs (like two progress…
“Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”? How we wonder why you’d resort to singing a ditty to time your handwashing when you can use your social isolation time to build a touch-free electronic handwash timer that the kids — and you — might actually use. Over the last few months, pretty much everyone on the planet has been…
Design beautiful customizable luminary lanterns for your home or garden. Cut them out on a vinyl cutter or laser cutter, and fill them with light using a Circuit Playground Bluefruit Express and Adafruit’s NeoPixel rings. Add custom color animations and control the lanterns with Adafruit’s BlueFruit app. More info
The ISS Tracking Lamp is a Internet connected lamp which constantly tracks the ISS and displays it location on Earth’s surface (printed in 3D). The lamp also displays the sunny side of Earth with Neopixels! So, in this project, we are going to see the differents steps to build this lamp based on WEMOS…
