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 ...

I don’t know about you, but although I like reading about electronics in a theoretical sort of way, there’s nothing I enjoy more than the hands-on building of something and then watching that thing ...

I’ve seen the concept art for “real world eyedroppers” several times. I haven’t noticed any of the products come to market though. It isn’t the technology stoping them, color sampling can be done a ...

1. Joints - The Foundation of Movement Joints are the moving links in a robotic arm. They let the arm bend, rotate, or change direction-similar to how our elbows and wrists work. In a 6-axis robotic ...

When it comes to performance, there's a world of difference between the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. The former, after all, is technically a fully functional computer that can run games, word processors, ...

Here’s a fun build from [RootSaid] that is suitable for people just getting started with microcontrollers and robotics — an Arduino-controlled two-wheeled robot. The video assumes you ...

Arduino boards are a relatively simple platform that take a lot of the work out of developing microcontroller-based projects. But, the key phrase here is “relatively simple,” because while you don’t ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. There's a certain charm in seeing simple electronic systems at work. Don't you just get excited as you watch a mobile robot solve a maze or ...

We will refer to these article collections as “Breadboards,” “Tools,” and “Components” for short. We’re assuming that we are in possession of a full-size breadboard and associated wires (Components, ...
