Light up your space with this handmade star-shaped wooden lamp! It’s made with a jigsaw and a simple lamp socket from the hardware store. It’s fun and easy to create something unique! If you enjoyed our previous post on building a wooden lampshade, you’ll love this new design. For the Read more…
Hey folks! If you got a kick out of my Word Clock 2.0 build, you’re going to enjoy what’s up next. I’ve been tinkering away and am stoked to introduce the LED-RingClock. It’s another little project that combines the cool glow of NeoPixel LEDs with the brains of an ESP8266 Read more…
I built a small project to test the Raspberry Pi Pico with the Pico LCD 1.3 module. This turns out to be a very nice gift for any person who sits in the office all day. The device will remind every 30 minutes to drink water. You can connect it Read more…
Here is one more small project I build on one weekend. the starting point was a spare “Raspberry Pi Blink!” mini LED strip originally planned for a Raspberry Pi. I wanted to build at least a little bit useful project with these eight LEDs. A seven-segment display is therefore perfect Read more…
In this article, I present my basic hardware and software parts for a smart LED lamp project, which is to be controlled via WiFi. Two examples of such a project are a decoration LED tube light and my newest word clock, which requests the time via the Internet and displays Read more…
Two years ago I already built a word clock with NeoPixel LEDs. You can find the article about it here. At that time I built the word clock only with an Arduino and queried the time via radio. But this time the plan is to make the clock bigger, prettier Read more…
Design your own lamp? Not easier than that. Here is a step-by-step instruction on how I build my own DIY lamp from wood. For the DIY lampshade shown, we only need three materials: Wooden board 25x25cm – 18mm thick wooden stick 5x10mm – 20cm long some wood glue Step-by-step instructions Read more…
This time I will show how I built the LED light cubes shown in the picture above. I call them TinyLightCube, as they using an ATtiny85 as a microcontroller. The cubes will change their color depending on how they are tilted. Parts For one color cube we need following parts: Read more…
In this post, I will build a super cool word clock with Arduino and Neopixel LEDs. Such word clocks cost several hundred euros in the trade, but with a little skill, they are also fast self-built. I show you how it works. The electronic base is similar to that of Read more…
