With this RGB LED Lamp Driver Board circuit you can make an ordinary light a bit more interesting. With the press of a button you can change the light to whatever color you like. An AVR microcontroller is being used to PWM the RGB LEDs. Video after the jump. “The lamp uses a single momentary button to switch (you need special drill bits to drill the hole in this thin
Thanks to Protostack for sponsoring the contest this week. They will be providing the winner a 28 Pin AVR Development Board ver 1.5 which was featured here earlier in the week. “This board allows you to quickly build Microcontroller circuits for 28 pin AVR Microcontroller such as ATMEGA8, ATMEGA48, ATMEGA88, ATMEGA168 and ATMEGA328. One half of the board is dedicated to the microcontroller, whilst the other half resembles our standard
Our friend JingleJoe from England sure does a great job of making new old things. This is a modern power supply but you would never know that by glancing at it. If this is the first time looking at his work make sure you check out the old 9 volt battery box project. Via: Hacked Gadgets Forum
Why do we have all of these redundant LED segments in the clocks around us. Just to show one digit of time we use 7 LEDs. If you are looking for a less is more solution to showing the time then you need to have a look at the Blinky Clock that John Boxall created. It is being run from a ATmega328 Microcontroller and a DS1307 Real Time Clock. This
DeviceKnit is here to make full use of all the gadgets around you. These days we have a ton of gadgets and electronics around us. More devices that are purchased have ways to talk to other things, this could be done with Ethernet, Bluetooth or some other means. How are other people that have the same gear as you linking them together to make their life fun and easy? I
Apple makes such nice sexy products but dam them for making it so hard for us to work with them. Apple has vendors who make accessory products that work with Apple products and to give them a leg up Apple has incorporated some ridiculous technology. This additional technology adds speed bumps to generic electronic products from working properly with their devices. Limor Fried has reverse engineered what needs to be
Protostack has just released a new version of their popular AVR Development Board. They have listened to user suggestions to improve the design. “All in all there are 6 changes Addition of diode to power supply block, Addition of resettable fuse to power supply block, Support for both IGO and GOI style regulators in power supply block, Size increase of IDC/Dual row section from 2×7 to 2×8 pin, Additional labels
