With 2×8 arrays of LEDs you can create your own Bike twilight similar to the project posted here by justDIY. Its a one week job for you to build your wonderful creation. Wide options are available to make your project attractive like: you can add some automatic control circuitry, painting the circuit boards, masking off each LED lens […]
Binary Alarm Clock provides an original and innovative method of displaying the accurate time. Instructables member linux-dude shared his compact binary alarm clock that uses an Arduino Duemilanove (which fits perfectly in the tin) to keep time and control the indicator LEDs. The LEDs are arranged in two rows as you would expect, representing hours and […]
Ambilight, which is short for Ambient Lighting Technology, is a feature invented by Philips Electronics into their TVs that analyzes the signal and adjusts a ring of LEDs to match colors. We can build a simple “Ambilight” clone. Macetech member Garrett with his team build an Insanely Bright 60W LED Backlight for a […]
On 2010 New Year’s Eve Macetech member Garrett build a miniature version of the Times Square sparkleball using about 120 16oz plastic cups hot-glued together into a sphere. He has documented the build so you could build your own. “Materials used: six Satellite Modules (high power RGB LED arrays), six ShiftBars (three channel LED controllers), […]
You can build a simple “Ambilight” clone, similar as one posted by the Admin at Electronics-lab. You can watch the above video for more detailed features. ” Ambilight is a feature of some Philips televisions that projects colored light onto the wall behind the display, synchronized with the content on the screen to create an immersive effect.” […]
Hackedgadgets member Alan Parekh shared various versions of LED based Analog clock. You can build your own analog clock using the following materials: One homemade clock uses a PIC16F877 Microcontroller with a 20MHz clock, it also has a DS1307 real time clock with battery backup. 169 x 700mcd diffused white LED’s connected in a matrix […]
