Music and Electronics end up beautifully when they are perfectly combined: if you are looking for a way to synchronize RGB LEDs to music, then you have a new tool in your hands. After releasing a detailed DIY report on how to create a music visualizer with an Arduino Uno and a Sparkfun...

Lumileds has added news LEDs to its Luxeon IR Domed Line with a significant increase in both DC and pulse drive current–up to 1.5A and 5.0A, respectively. The new emitters deliver radiant power of 1350mW at 850nm wavelength (slightly visible) or 1450mW at 940nm (invisible or covert...

This small constant current LED driver Nano shield has been designed using CAT4104 IC from ON semiconductor. Its 4 channel LED driver. The board has provision to mount 20 SMD 1206 LEDs. The LED can be RED, GREEN, BLUE and WHITE. Reduce the number of LED to 12 if White LEDs are used, as...

Interesting how what started as a little discussion turned out to be one great solution at MAKE 100 as founders and owners of Staudt Technologies, Katharina and Yannic share their newly discovered solution with the world. Having realized how really difficult it is to quickly find...

As projectors grow more and more popular in home entertainment systems, so have the expectations of users. In addition to ever-higher resolutions, the focus is also on richer colors, contrasts and, of course, higher brightness. With the Ostar Projection Power family, Osram has succeeded...

Diodes Incorporated today announced the BCR430UW6 linear LED driver with ultra-low dropout voltage and constant current regulation between 5mA and 100mA. This combination allows more LEDs to be driven from a low supply voltage, making the BCR430UW6 suitable for applications that require...

YX8018 is a 4-pin integrated circuit for driving solar powered garden LED lights and is found on many cheap garden lights. You can buy 10x YX8018 ICs on AliExpress for around $1. You will need the following parts to build one on your own: Parts i-Cd AA 300mAh 1.2v rechargable...

Lumileds LUXEON IR ONYX Broadband Infrared Emitters feature a continuous broadband Infra-Red (IR) emission from 650nm to 1100nm with good light output characteristics. These IR emitters come in industry-standard 2720 package and footprint for easy integration in the existing designs....
