The most fascinating project you can build is something with a bunch of blinky hypnotic LEDs, and the easiest way to build this is with a bunch of individually addressable RGB LEDs. [Ole] has a great ...

These days, addressable LEDs are all the rage. A little chip paired with each LED receives signals and modulates the light output as needed. [John Peterson] was working on a project along these very ...

Actual microcontrollers have powerful bidirectional I/O ports, and you can use different techniques to fully exploit such capabilities. Recent Design Ideas described the “Charlieplexing” method as an ...

This “Product How-To” article focuses how to use a certain product in an embedded system and is written by a company representative. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have emerged in recent years as ...

OSIRE® E3731i intelligent RGB LED enables creation of dynamic color and motion effects across hundreds of LEDs The intelligent RGBi uses a new and license-free Open System Protocol for communication ...

LEDs have a special place in every maker's heart, and it's because we all love the ability to create light at moment's notice. Almost every project I have made over the last two decades has included ...

A PIC16F877A microcontroller is used to design the project and is responsible for driving the display that consists of 144 LEDs arranged in three 18×8 matrices. The display can be driven by requiring ...

Makers, hobbyists and developers that enjoy creating wearable electronic projects or anything that is connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) may be interested in a new 32-bit microcontroller ...

FTDI Chip is a long-established company providing silicon solutions to “bridge technologies” for mobile devices and consumer electronics, best known for its USB chips used in such embedded development ...
