In this experiment we are going to use a element called photoresistor. This sensor allows us to interact with the external environment, through intensity of light. The photoresistor is based on light ...

[mircemk] built a slick-looking LED tester with a couple handy functions built in. Not only can one select a target current to put through an LED, but by providing a target voltage, the system will ...

This is a simple 0 to 9 counter circuit constructed using Arduino! Here, a common cathode 7-segment LED display is connected to Arduino for displaying the digits. The code (Arduino sketch) allows push ...

It is a pretty common first project to use an Arduino (or similar) to blink an LED. Which, of course, brings taunts of: you could have used a 555! You can, of course, also use any sort of oscillator, ...

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 ...

In my previous column, we covered quite a lot of ground, starting with the first vacuum tube diodes, moving to their solid-state (semiconductor) descendants, and progressing to their light-emitting ...
