more ...NeoPixels are fun and amazing. In my project I connected 4 of the AdaFruit NeoPixel - 16 RGBW Leds together. What caught my attention and curiosity was that you can control each of these RGBW Leds using just one wire.This feat is accomplished with a very timing-specific protocol. Since the ...
more ...Received this Learning Lab Kit on a Shield for Arduino from Programming Electronics Academy today and am very pleased.
The Learning Lab Kit on a Shield for Arduino is meant to help you save time – it basically pre-populates common circuits for you.
Circuits that you might already have learned quite ...
more ...I built the Arduino GPS Clock by Tony DiCola over at Adafruit. The clock was very cool, setting it's time from the satellites, however, I soon started feeling like I was wasting my GPS shield by only using it to get time. So I decided to use the RGB ...
more ...This is a really cool project that was originally on Make as a GPS Cat Tracker. Michael James, at the Programming Electronics Academy, put together an excellent 10 minute video showing you how easy it is to do this project.
Pretty cool huh? If you enjoyed that you may also ...
