In this video I'll be showing you how you can control the contrast and the back light brightness of a 1602 LCD display with just the Arduino. The contrast is typically adjusted with a variable ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

I recently came upon a great flame sensing electronics project tailored for fire art installations. I learned from the project documentation that certain types of fire art installations are required ...

The FS-5000E Flame Sensor from Takex immediately detects ultraviolet rays contained in flames and activates an external output. With faster detection than conventional smoke alarms, they are ideal for ...

When it comes to detecting certain changes in weather conditions, it's pretty unpredictable, and rainfall is one of the most unexpected parameters of weather. So in this article, we decided to ...

An infrared proximity sensor, or IR Sensor, is an electronic device that emits infrared light to detect objects and motion in Arduino projects. This interfacing of the IR sensor module with Arduino is ...

In case you didn’t know, rappers Raury and Waka Flock Flame are 100-percent about that vegan life—and they want you to be too. We spotted their fun baking tutorial over on VICE and we just couldn’t ...

How can you detect the presence of a flame without a fancy commercial device? In this post I will describe how to build cheap flame sensors at home with a couple of methods. Second Method: Secondly, ...

[Edward], creator of the Cave Pearl project, an underwater data logger, needed a way to measure temperature with a microcontroller. Normally, this problem is most easily solved by throwing a ...
