Each region will have a color assigned under these restrictions and the variations of each decree will make the various colors impossible to remember. Colors of Italy is…
In this project we will see how to make a simple bike dashboard that allows you to view speed, turn on rear and front lights and enable turn signals. The system is based on an Arduino Mega which controls two 1.3 “OLED displays to view data, several segments of WS2812 led strips used as lights…
In this project we will see how to make a glove that, simply by tilting the hands, makes something seem frozen in time, or move it back and forth in time. The effect is based on a light that, flashing at a certain frequency, will make moving objects appear as if they were stationary or…
Due to the pandemic, many people have been forced to stay indoors much more often, which means missing out on the usual social events, including sports and tournaments. Even playing a simple game of chess hasn’t been feasible anymore, until now. Lewis of DIY Machines designed and built a smart chess board that allows you…
With this project you can customize your Computer station with DIY ambient lights, using a LED strip controlled by any ESP8266 based board. The color of the strip will be controllable from a smartphone and, like a home automation device, automations can be set to change color at certain times of the day or after…
Nixie valve display watches will have their vintage appeal but we know how delicate they are due to the glass and the high voltage needed to make them turn on. This project makes the Nixie watches more resistant, with a more modern look thanks to the RGB LEDs used to display the digits and which…
Are you a diy enthusiast? Do you like electronics and model building? If the answer is ‘Damn, yes!”, don’t miss this project: an open-source traffic-light with Arduino and Neopixel rings. It seems to be a good starting point for all those who are now approaching to Arduino projects. Discover, invent, create, share! …
We make a NeoPixel light installations using Fishino and NodeMCU, controlled via Wi-Fi from PC or Raspberry Pi through a Python library. A few years ago, the American Adafruit Industries revolutionized the LED market by introducing its NeoPixels, whose main feature is to integrate, in a single package, an RGB LED and its controller….
If you like electronic music, you must know Daft Punk’s glowing electronic helmets. Now, thanks to this Electronoobs tutorial, you can make a very good and affordable replica for around $20 and 30 hours of print time. This is a very simple project that uses the Adafruid library to control a RGB adressable LED strip that…
