Story Introduction This is my first Arduino project. My work was inspired by several maker projects that created Persistence of Vision Displays [2,3,4]. Persistence of vision (POV) refers to the optical illusion whereby multiple discrete images blend into a single image in the human mind and believed to be the explanation for motion perception in cinema and animated films [1]. The […]

The potential competitor of ESP8266 wifi module will be available next week for just $2! Pine64, the manufacturer of the first $15 64-bit single board computer, is now preparing to launch “PADI IoT Stamp” RTL8710AF module. This module has the size of the stamp, a small 24mm x 16mm package with powerful specifications compared to […]

Story More VideoBlasting So why didn’t the TVout library reach any higher resolution than 160×100? The answer is simple. They did not use any hardware onchip to push the pixels out. If you use the SPI to push the pixel you will gain an immediate 1:1 in pixelspeed The SPI push out data at the […]

A group of developers in Elektor Labs have modified a high power wireless power transfer project, which originally developed by Würth Elektronik eiSos GmbH & Co. KG, an electronic and electromechanical components manufacturer in Europe, in an attempt to come up with an easy-to-achieve solution for wireless power transfer of more than 100 Watts without using any kind […]

Things used in this project Hardware components: OLED 128×64 SPI-capable Available on Aliexpress or eBay for $4 to $20 × 1 For standard Arduino platforms, use the unmodified Adafruit libs × 1 Story I like cheap electronics for playing. Cheap is good for budget conscious hobbyists and China is delivering lots of toys for playing […]

I have been tinkering with Word Clocks for years. There is only one thing I like more than making word clocks… it’s designing them so that they are easy to put together. This tutorial will go through my latest version (5!!!!!). By the end of it you will have a clock with: User selectable colours […]

A retinal prosthesis substitutes for the photo-receptor cells of the defective retina. It’s composed of a camera carried in spectacles; electronics that processes the camera information; and a matrix of microscopic electrodes implanted in the eye in contact with the retina. These electrical signals are carried to the brain by the optic nerve. With such […]

Story This would be the continuation of my previous project Programming ATtiny85 with Arduino Uno. Now with cheaper ATtiny85 in place I was looking for cheaper ways to transmit the sensor data. Which brought me to nRF24L01+ a cheap, low power RF transceiver. This seemed to be the better solution for me. But there was […]

Welcome to the 4th post of the “Exploring Eagle CAD ULPs” series. Every week we will publish a new post about one useful ULP in Eagle CAD. “ULP” User Language Program is a plain text file which is written in a C­-like syntax and can be used to access the EAGLE data structures and to […]

Story I am working on a project which requires reading multiple sensor data on different locations. These require only few PWM pins so using multiple Arduino Uno would be expensive and unnecessary. So I decided to use ATtiny85 microcontroller in place of Arduino Uno development boards.ATtiny85 is a cheap and powerful alternate when u don’t […]
