Back in school, I spent more hours than I can count hunched over an Arduino Uno – blinking LEDs, wiring up sensors, and building clunky robots that barely worked but felt like magic. The Uno was ...

In recent years, integrated platforms equipped with microcontrollers (with Arduino probably being the best-known brand) have been gaining popularity.

In this video I'm building an Arduino Heart Rate Monitor that is housed in a toy handle in the style of the Star Trek Tricoder. The device uses the PulseSensor with an Arduino Pro Mini and an OLED ...

Today we are going to create a strobe light for the tips of the wings of an rc airplane using a 555 timer (NE 555 or lm 555 IC) this circuit is very easy to make with few components and most ...

After Qualcomm’s purchase of Arduino it has left many wondering what market its new Uno Q board is trying to target. Taking the ongoing RAM-pocalypse as inspiration, [Bringus Studios] made a tongue-in ...

There have been many questions about what direction Arduino would take after being bought by Qualcomm. Now it would seem that we’re getting a clearer picture. Perhaps unsurprisingly the ...

This section defines the network credentials and server details required for sending the email. The ESP32-CAM connects to WiFi using the SSID and password. The host address, HTTPS port (443), and API ...

Tyler has worked on, lived with and tested all types of smart home and security technology for over a dozen years, explaining the latest features, privacy tricks, and top recommendations. With degrees ...

More than one-fifth of US electricity is used to power artificial lighting. Light-emitting diodes based on group III/nitride semiconductors are bringing about a revolution in energy-efficient lighting ...

Lasers, LEDs and light sources are devices that create light. LEDs (light emitting diodes) convert an electrical current into light using spontaneous emission in optically active semiconductors.

If your car came from the factory with halogen or HID bulbs, you’re going to need to replace them or upgrade them down the line. Both of these bulb types lose light output over time; thus, even if ...

LED lights are famous for their efficiency and long lives, but how does that turn into cash? We did the math and found out. Tyler Lacoma Editor / Home Security and Smart Home Tyler has worked on, ...
