We created Skywriter because lightsabers are cool. Although we are fans, we are not passionate about the Star Wars franchise. However, we are passionate about the technology in Star Wars. For our final project, we wanted to replicate the futuristic lightsaber. And add a twist with persistence-of-vision. This project has been a great exercise in […]
SMT mountable LEDs in a 2835 package extend Würth Elektronik extensive range of horticulture LEDs. The three WL-SMTW series LEDs emit light of the wavelengths 450 nm (Deep Blue), 660 nm (Hyper Red) and 730 nm (Far Red) – ideal for applications controlling plant growth through specific light mixtures. Besides vertical farming and lighting in greenhouses, thanks to their
NEW WL-SMTW SERIES LEDS EMIT LIGHT OF WAVELENGTHS 450, 660 AND 730 NM Read More »
Introduction Audio effects are used in nearly every recorded and live song across genres, whether its reverb being added to a vocalist or noise being filtered from a drum track. When used with guitars, they’re so ubiquitous that the interesting tones they create are often already associated with the instrument (like distortion), although they can

This instructable covers the interface of 8051 microcontroller with the cheap 315/433MHz RF module. This comes in handy in different kinds of wireless connectivity projects like Robotics, Wireless Level sensors, etc. The sensor is really cheap, typically about $5. I have implemented this module with other controllers such as Arduino and Pic, but the 8051

Cree’s single-die LED point source provides precise optical control in torch, outdoor, and vehicle lighting Cree’s XLamp XM-L3 LED delivers a massive 55% upgrade in maximum light output over the XM-L2 LED, providing a single-die LED point source for precise optical control. The XM-L3 LED shares the same mechanical and optical footprint as the original
This is a post about the POV ( Persistence of Vision ) Display that uses one 7 Segment display. In short, I made this little project as a proof of concept of something I ‘ve always noticed in many electronic devices those used 7 segment display. Devices like 7 segment display clocks and meters. In those devices, the 7 segment

In this project, we are going to use a PIC microcontroller to remotely control few AC loads by just using an IR remote. Here we designed it on PCB using EasyEDA’s online PCB designer and used their PCB designing services to order the PCB boards as shown in the subsequent section of the article. At the end
