What happens when you combine an Arduino-based microcontroller with a palm-sized aluminum box and clicky buttons? A fidget ...

It turns out the "10-year lifespan" printed on your LED box is often a total fantasy. I spent years falling for the marketing, only to end up standing on a ladder every six months replacing bulbs that ...

Hot glue guns are pretty simple beasts: there’s an on/off switch, a heating element, and a source of current, be it battery or wired. You turn it on, and the heater starts warming up; ...

Over the decades we have seen many DIY clocks and wrist watches presented, but few are as likely to get you either drawing in the crowds, or quietly snickered at behind your back, as a binary ...

The LM3445 from National Semiconductor enables a full 100:1 range of offline, uniform, flicker-free dimming for high-brightness LEDs with a conventional TRIAC forward or reverse phase-control wall ...

This project requires modifying potentiometers so that they can be turned by a motor. For a description of how I handled these hardware changes, see this video: https ...
