Controlling LEDs is really quite simple. As you know, they need to be current limited which is as easy as applying Ohm’s law to your given set of values. To make things even more even there’s a slew ...

Discover the step-by-step process of creating a powerful music reactive LED strip circuit in this comprehensive tutorial.

This is a simple 0 to 9 counter circuit constructed using Arduino! Here, a common cathode 7-segment LED display is connected to Arduino for displaying the digits. The code (Arduino sketch) allows push ...

In this article I will add some simple Arduino LED projects starting with basic ones like how to turn on an LED, blinking, and more. Every step will have the code, the schematic, photos of the project ...

Kids love building electric circuits, but connecting light bulbs to batteries with fiddly wires is tricky for young hands. Play dough and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) solve the problem beautifully.
