When the Arduino code sees the button getting pressed, it brings the corresponding LED pin high and starts a fade out timer using the SoftPWM library by [Brett Hagman].

An Arduino drives the switch-mode power supply, offering dimming thanks to PWM, and the ability to automatically switch the light on and off using an RTC chip with a battery backup.

The Arduino uses latitude and longitude to help decide when to click on the lights, so it's incredibly accurate. Otherwise, the build just includes an on/off switch, a Tiny RTC, a time adjustment ...

Although it is a respectable drive, handling hardware and software in the I2C background might not an easy chore for many Arduino beginners. So we are forced to introduce another simple alternative to ...

You can read the state of a button using Arduino and a few lines of code. The actual state is shown in the Serial Monitor window as 0 or 1, 0 meaning the button is not pressed and 1 that the button is ...

The sensors trigger an Arduino to turn on LEDS on a nearby setup. In the video (which is after the break) you can see the entire thing in action -- which maker Joe says can eventually lead to a ...

This year at CES, Intel introduced Curie — a button-sized system-on-chip module made for low-power wearables — but the company was mum on what would be the first products to use it. Now we ...

This week I will outline a project for Halloween that uses the Arduino and a light to create a glowing effect inside a pumpkin. I use artificial pumpkins for projects like this so I can reuse them ...

After that's done, the Arduino moves the device's motors, which in turn move the flashlight. It then shines light upon a miniature cement moon, which shows the phase for the day from the operator ...
