In earlier article, we discussed the basics around NeoPixel LED. We also warned about higher current consumption NeoPixel strips used for decoration. Connecting Single NeoPixel to Arduino is most simple. Thinking specially about the children, we feel that single NeoPixel is completely safe, affordable and easy for them. Here is Connection and Sketch For Arduino UNO Single NeoPixel Rainbow Blink. … [Read more...]
What is NeoPixel LED? Can We Interface Multi Color LED Strip With Arduino?
Multi-color LEDs becoming common in decoration. Questions with NeoPixel LED also becoming common. What is NeoPixel LED? NeoPixel LEDs are digital LEDs which has 3 LED in each package for RGB and own IC. They are digitally addressable LEDs and gives us the control on large numbers of LEDs using digital signals. Can We Interface Consumer Grade Multi Color LED Strip Sold For Home, Christmas, Diwali … [Read more...]
How to Connect Multiple LEDs With One Arduino Pin (Series Connection)
Connecting Multiple LEDs in Series Can Create Nice Lighting Effects. Most of the consumer grade Christmas light, Diwali light etc uses just some common IC and transistors. Here is How to Connect Multiple LEDs With One Arduino Pin. In respect to one Pin, result is like as if of Series Connection in ordinary electrical circuits. Current in Arduino UNO single digital pin will provide 40mA and can … [Read more...]

Running Multiple LCD Displays On One Arduino UNO
Commonly we show example of getting started with LCD with one LCD and some sensor, like we have guide on Arduino Temperature & Humidity Sensor DHT 11 With LCD 1602A. We Can Easily Run Two to Four 16x2 LCDs On Arduino UNO. In This Article, We Will Supply Same Code and Diagram For Running Multiple LCD Displays On One Arduino UNO. Basic matter is that, when we use LCD without I²C module then it … [Read more...]
Arduino : Blink LED and Beep Every X Seconds Upon Push Button Press
Previously we have shown beep with key press and LED lightening up and projects like Arduino Traffic Light, Arduino TM1637 with RTC. Here is How To Blink LED and Beep Every 1 Second With Arduino Upon Push Button Press. We Will Discuss Many Ways To Achieve The Goal Including Using RTC. Arduino has many ways to count time. Easiest we know is usage in the way we Blink a LED as basic … [Read more...]
Android Smartphone Qualcomm DAC Sound Quality Hack : Part 1
Peculiarly, the manufacturers sell under-optimized or outdated coding resulting lower quality sound. This is an introductory article on tweaking Android acoustics. We need to hack to enable all the hardware features of Qualcomm 420 and above. Here is Part 1 of Android Smartphone Qualcomm DAC Sound Quality Hack. If you are fully newbie, you should read our few older article including SoC, Latest … [Read more...]
Earbuds vs In-Ears/In-Canal Earphones
Earbuds are old fashioned earphones which snugly fit outer ear. Previously we compared headphones and earphones. In previous article, we clearly informed the readers that good headphones delivers the best sound. But for practical reasons, we do need to think about earbuds, in-ears/in-canal earphones. Many people are not sure about whether earbuds or in-ear earphones are right for them. Both has … [Read more...]
Graphing With Arduino on TFT LCD Color Display : Part I
Normally we show example of real-time reading things like DHT11 on monochrome LCD displays. We can graph that information. Graphing With Arduino on TFT LCD Color Display Probably a Needed Matter to Many Users. Graphing Can Become Difficult On Display With Less Known Drivers. Previously we have talked around MCUFRIEND TFT LCD Calculator. That one had problem with working codes. There are worse … [Read more...]
Arduino Soil Moisture Sensor : How Works, What to Buy
Basic purpose of soil moisture sensors is determining percentage of water in soil, rater volumetric water content of soil mainly for watering plant. We commonly view certain type sensors in prototyping works on various websites and online stores. Basic questions which will come to mind to a newbie are - How Arduino Soil Moisture Sensor Works? What to Buy as Soil Moisture Sensor? We are trying to … [Read more...]
Arduino Flip-Flop Blinking LED With Push Button
The current series of articles we are publishing are around basics for learning Arduino and also IC. We already know that we can blink one LED with Arduino and also we can blink one LED with 555 IC. We can also blink 2 LEDs alternatively with Arduino and also blink 2 LEDs alternatively with 555 IC. From our older examples, we can start LED to be on with one pushbutton press and turn-off with … [Read more...]
