From your very first blinking LED to dazzling multi-color sequences, Arduino makes it easy to bring light to life. With just a board, a few LEDs, and some code, you can experiment with patterns, ...

I have spent at least an hour almost every day since the 80’s advancing my knowledge in electronics. Recently I brushed up my knowledge on LED fading secrets and attained something pleasant. Now, I’d ...

Community collaboration is a great thing. Take the Arduino PWM library for shift registers. Some folks at the Arduino forum pitched in and helped [Elco] trim off a bunch of clock cycles by using the ...

Here’s an Arduino library that will let you drive a very large number of LEDs. [Elco Jacobs], an electrical engineering student, is the author of the library. He has a work-study job that has him ...

In this second article we will see a practical application of the daisy-chained shift registers. We want to use four 7-Segments LEDs controlled by the Arduino board. As you can imagine, that is ...
