Michael has built an LED cube that is impressive. Not only because it looks fantastic, but he also managed to process 142 frames per second, that is 1 frame every 7 milliseconds. Within this period, it loops through a still frame 7 times (Each cycle of POV lasts 144 microseconds). This can compensate for flickering …

An RGB lamp is a type of lamp or lighting fixture that uses red, green, and blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to produce a wide spectrum of colors. The term “RGB” stands for the three primary colors used in additive color mixing—red, green, and blue. By combining different intensities of these three colors, an RGB lamp …
Scott Daniels did some research on Arduino voltage measuring. He found out the the analogread() function can be improved by using the internal 1.1 volt reference. Using this reference one can read voltage more accurately. This can be used to see if your Arduino, when running on battery power, when it’s time to replace it. …
If you find the Raspberry Pi, with its seemingly endless programmability, a bit confining, here’s some exciting news: the Gertboard extender is now being shipped. Priced at $48, this companion board is arriving at the doorsteps of customers, serving as a converter between analog and digital for Raspberry Pi enthusiasts engaged in developing home automation, …
