Power consumption of the embedded controller is a primary concern in low power design. Arduino boards are often used in devices that rely on battery or solar charging. Such devices often deploy far from the power line to have periodic battery replacement or are mobile devices designed for periodic charging cycles. In such a case,…
How to make a decorative coconut tree using a digital RGB LED strip
In this project, we’ll demonstrate how to make a colorful, king-sized coconut tree (5 feet) decorative showpiece using a digital RGB LED strip. The RGB LED strip is cut and arranged to form the shape of a coconut tree. The ATMega328 microcontroller is used to control the LED strip, generating several flashing, fading, and blinking…
Color generation using RGB LED, Arduino, and potentiometer
RGB LED is a combination of three LEDs red-green-blue together. It has four terminals – either anode or cathode, and the other three are for these three colors. Interestingly, when two colors inside the LED are turned ON simultaneously, the LED gives a different color. Also, as the amount or intensity of any color in…
Arduino-based multicolour LED chaser
If you search on Google or youtube for LED chasers, you will find quite a bit of LED chasers. And here also, by just looking at the title, you will say, “one more LED chaser!!!!… Oh, No, please!!!!” But wait, wait, wait. This is somewhat different. Most of the LED chasers are of single colour…
