Now, though, it shouldn’t be hard to control the RGB LED strips through an Arduino, a computer, or even an Android/iOS device with a small IR LED plugged into the headphone jack.

The part list consists of one Arduino, two resistors, and one IR emitter. That’s right, an emitter. When an LED (IR or otherwise) is reverse biased it can act as a light sensor.

Infineon's RGB LED Lighting Shield is one two of Arduino-based evaluation boards created to showcase the capabilities of its ARM-based XMC1000 MCUs in lighting and motor control applications. Unlike ...

The Pressure Sensor Module incorporates a material called Velostat with the Arduino. This material adds more resistance when more pressure is applied to the material. This module also uses the RGB LED ...
