https://www.electronics-lab.com/music-reactive-desk-light/

Martina @ natural-nerd.com build a sound reacting LED light using Arduino: Hi! In this build we’ll make a good looking light that dances to all sounds and music, using simple components and some basic Arduino programming. It makes an awesome effect while standing on the desk when gaming, playing music, and anything else that makes […]

RASPILIGHT: an open project for Ambilight TV effect


https://www.electronics-lab.com/raspilight-open-project-ambilight-tv-effect/

LucaBellan @ open-electronics.org  re-created the Ambilight TV effect on any other TV using Raspberry and Kodi. He writes: The screen’s edges are divided into logic sectors, and each sector is associated with a specific LED and, by making a color average of the pixels, you can find the color to set to be reproduced by […]

The Aurora Boxealis – A Color Sensing and Mirroring Project


https://www.electronics-lab.com/aurora-boxealis-color-sensing-mirroring-project/

Besides looking damned good on an otherwise bland and ordinary desk, this project is about more than just being attention grabbing eye candy.  It’s about demonstrating a small portion of our single board computer capabilities by hooking up a color sensor, RGB light strip, and enclosing it in a nice looking wooden enclosure.  We’re dubbing […]

Temperature Controlled Fan With LED Status

Clap to light switch with timer project is very useful project for power saving applications. The project switches on the LED light for 45 to 60 seconds when receives two clap sound. This project can be used in store room, toilets, dark area where switch is not visible, night lamp, places where light on off […]

PICTIL – Remake of the TIL311 hex LED display


https://www.electronics-lab.com/pictil-remake-til311-hex-led-display/

Yann Guidon @ hackaday.io rebuild the TIL311 hexadecimal display using a pic microcontroller. He writes: The TIL311 is a nice but expensive, obsolete, power-hungry hexadecimal display. It would be cool to make a tiny module with similar functionality which solves its shortcomings. A 20-pins PIC is a solution but other decoding chips could work too. […]

Programmable LED dimmer


https://www.electronics-lab.com/programmable-led-dimmer/

A Programmable LED dimmer from Soldernerd: Around one and a half years ago I’ve designed and built various LED dimmers for both white and RGB LEDs. Then late last year someone approached me asking if I could make an RGB dimmer for him, too. But my designs were really tailored to their specific applications and […]
