One of the first projects that most people do on an Arduino is to light up or flash an LED. It seems ultra-simple because it ...

In this article I will add some simple Arduino LED projects starting with basic ones like how to turn on an LED, blinking, and more. Every step will have the code, the schematic, photos of the project ...

The Arduino has long been a staple of the maker community. Longer than 3D printing has been as popular as it is, in fact. So, ...

Today, we’re going to explore the uses of addressable LEDs. Addressable LED is an easy way to add complex lighting effects to any project. Each addressable LED has an integrated driver that allows you ...

Normally, when a project calls for addressable LEDs, we just throw a strip of WS2812s and an Arduino together, cobble together some code from the examples in the FastLED library, and call it a day. We ...

In the last installment of The GeekDad Arduino Guide, I introduced you to the Arduino hardware and why it is so cool. Now, let’s start actually using an Arduino. How do you get started? Well, first ...

If you've done some Arduino tinkering and wondered how you could incorporate the Kinect-or the other way around-then this book is for you. The authors of Arduino and Kinect Projects will show you how ...

This snippet of Hello World code lets [Nico Ritschel] turn the Pin 13 LED on his Arduino on and off using Siri, the voice-activated helper built into iPhones. The trick here is using the Ruby ...

Discover how the Arduino Opta Pro can be leveraged beyond its industrial roots for smart home and DIY automation. In my article, I share hands‑on insights, practical code examples, and hardware ...

The Arduino UNO R4 brought a modern 32-bit platform to the UNO form factor. Arduino’s Alessandro Ranellucci explained the ...
