About a year ago I started on a project to make a temperature controlled nightlight. I was inspired by seeing these lovely LED lamps styled as mushrooms growing out of pieces of wood. Those mushrooms were made out of glass, which was somewhat beyond my skills. However I then saw some had used translucent sculpey […]

Aurora 48 is a compact and thin profile full-color LED sequencer. It’s built entirely with surface mount components, so the profile is nice and clean. Features Capable of individually controlling 48 Full color LEDs. Each LED can be faded in 7 bit per channel – 2,097,152 colors. Gamma corrected brightness curve for very smooth fades. Simple,

The ‘One Chip Spinning RGB POV Display’ with conversion software. If you have been on the look out for a project that combines, RGB LED’s, a motor, a microcontroller and a ridiculous amount of hot melt glue, then you have certainly come to the right place. Allow me to introduce the ‘One Chip’ Spinning RGB
How to re purpose a the RGB LED color cycling circuitry from a Glade LightShow air freshener. I was in the process of creating a red, green , blue color cycling circuit based on a PIC microcontroller when I spotted the Glade LightShow air freshener. I wanted to know if it could be hacked up
