As more people get interested in their own hardware control projects, Arduino and Raspberry Pi have emerged as the most popular controller boards on the market today. While the latter remains more popular, it may not be the best option for all projects. Whether you want to set up an entire IOT system in your […]

Introduction For some applications, you only need a computer with an operating system in order to connect a serial device like an Arduino or other microcontroller with a browser-based multimedia application like p5.js. Perhaps you’re planning to run the sketch on a mobile device like an iPhone or Android device, but you need it to

In this post we will briefly discuss Animated-Smart-Light-with-Alexa-and-Arduino: Set up your Arduino and Raspberry PI to control lighting and animation on an RGB led strip via AWS IoT and Alexa voice commands. I was always fascinated by addressable RGB LED strips. The endless color effects and animation capabilities have always catch my creativity so few

Smart home system using MediaTek Linkit, Xbee, Arduino, Orange PI and Azure Story Introduction Let’s see what we need to set up a smart home system using MediaTek Linkit. Since there are lot of experts here to guide you on the hardware hookup to read the sensor data, I will concentrate on creating apis and
Introduction The Lumenati line of LED boards is designed to give your projects an edge in their lighting capacity. Based on the APA102C addressable LED, these LEDs employ a 2-wire communication protocol consisting of a clock line and a data line. While this requires one more wire than standard WS2812B addressable LEDs, the advantage is that the communication

<The Instructable and the code are ready. Enjoy! Leave a comment with you feedback!> I’m @RedPhantom (aka LiquidCrystalDisplay / Itay), a 14 years old student from Israel learning in the Max Shein Junior High School for Advanced Science and Mathematics. I’m making this project for everyone to learn from and share! You may have thought

In this instructable I’ll show you how you can build your own LED Rubik’s cube. This project was done for an introductory electronics course at Pomona College. Groups were given approximately two months to complete a project of their choosing, the only requirement being that the project rely on electronics built by the students. Our

Infrared Fan Speed Control  This project demonstrates using an infrared light beam to measure the speed of a fan, and PWM to adjust the speed to a preset value.  I used a small 12 Vdc fan from a PC CPU heat sink.  It will run on 5V, somewhat slow, and drawing only about 40 mA, perfect for

First of all You won’t find here any information on high speed BLDC motor driving. For that purpose You need to know rotor’s position, so You have to measure back-EMF or use Hall sensors (not needed here). For basic info about driving BLDC motors here is best “classic” articles on internets: Driving a three-phase brushless
