A very popular type of LED that has finally come about is the tri-color, RGB LED. The RGB stands for: red, green and blue since the LED is capable of displaying all three colors, independently. This means that an RGB LED can display any color of the rainbow. This is a powerful capability, but it […]

You may have seen many light-sensitive switch circuits based on an LDR sensor. Usually, the sensitivity of the LDR based light sensor is poor. We wanted a very sensitive light switch hence we decided to make a circuit based on a light sensor rather than LDR. After a little research on the internet, we found

Pixelblaze V3 from Hencke Technologies is the newly introduced Wi-Fi-enabled, live-codable LED controller with a web-based development environment. This is the latest iteration of Pixelblaze with added features that allow users to quickly write new LED patterns with its web-based live editor and expression engine. Pixelblaze V3, one user-friendly controller and pattern development engine, is designed to make
Alex Weber over at Instructables built a great programmable LED based on the AVR chip. Since I am tooled for PIC, I thought it would be fun to replicate what he has done. This simple project is fun and it provides a great building block for playing with collective behaviors. This is a How-To for

The E522.48 is a multi-channel PWM driver for e.g. light application. It provides 16 current sinks with integrated 10bit PWM generator for each channel. Each of the drivers can digitally be configured to drive up to 100mA with a selectable slew rate. The device supports I²C bus controlled operation to enable fast light animation sequences. For failsafe conditions the
