Stefan Wagner’s NeoController Tests and Controls NeoPixel LED Strips
https://www.electronics-lab.com/stefan-wagners-neocontroller-tests-and-controls-neopixel-led-strips/
When you buy any small development board, one of the first things you try is interfacing the programmable NeoPixels. One such example we saw was in the case of Raspberry Pi Pico, which interfaced the NeoPixels using the programmable IOs. If you have been following the maker community, you might have heard about Stefan Wagner […]
LED gravity balance simulates a moving particle
https://www.electronics-lab.com/led-gravity-balance-simulates-moving-particle/
This is a nice project by Roel Arits. The project appeared on www.elektormagazine.com and you can find the source files there. This project has no practical use at all, but was initiated as an exercise in implementing physics formulas related to gravity in C-code on an Arduino. To make things visible, a neopixel LED-strip with […]
Imitation Fireplace Using Cool Mist and LEDs
https://www.electronics-lab.com/imitation-fireplace-using-cool-mist-leds/
A convincing artificial fire effect for the holiday season, using NeoPixel LEDs, an Arduino UNO, and a cool mist module. The instructions for this are actually pretty simple, basically you just need to get the materials, and put them all together. The only technical part is soldering the wires onto the NeoPixel stick, and uploading […]
Temperature Controlled Stair lights With Raspberry Pi
https://www.electronics-lab.com/temperature-controlled-stair-lights-with-raspberry-pi/
Ever wished to know the temperature on your way to breakfast after waking up in the morning? Now you can find it out in a fascinating way as Lorraine Underwood at The MagPi magazine designed a temperature controlled colorful stair lights system with raspberry pi. In this tutorial, we’re going to discuss that project. Required Parts Strip of […]
A Christmas star with Neopixel LEDs
https://www.electronics-lab.com/christmas-star-neopixel-leds/
A geeky Christmas decoration made with 56 LED Neopixel and controlled via an Arduino Micro board: Let’s take a look, therefore, at the project’s electrical section, that is essentially composed of a set of 56 Neopixel LEDs, that have been arranged so to form two concentric stars; the first 35 RGB LEDs (out of 56) […]
Neopixel Night Light using ATtiny85
https://www.electronics-lab.com/neopixel-night-light-using-attiny85/
joshua.brooks @ instructables.com describes how he build a night light using an Adafruit NeoPixel, ATtiny85 microcontroller, TSSP4038 IR receiver and some other easy available components. I’m giving some workshops in electronics in a few weeks, centered around an inexpensive, but useful real-world project. When trying to come up with a thing to make, I wanted it […]
Temperature Display with NeoPixel Ring Color
https://www.electronics-lab.com/temperature-display-neopixel-ring-color/
This is an OLED temperature display based on ATmega328p along with a NeoPixel led ring to display different colors depending on temperature. This is a small temperature display using a OLED with a NeoPixel Ring around it using MQTT on a ESP8266 and sending data to the on board ATmega328p. It will cycle on a timer […]
RGB LED Strip Controller
https://www.electronics-lab.com/rgb-led-strip-controller/
Thomas Gonnot has published a RGB LED Strip Controller based on STM32F0 microcontroller. The controller is able to power NeoPixel and DotStar protocol RGB LEDs. A simple controller for a RGB LED strip, with independent control of color and intensity. The design is based on a simple STM32F0 microcontroller. It can handle NeoPixel and DotStar […]
