Actual microcontrollers have powerful bidirectional I/O ports, and you can use different techniques to fully exploit such capabilities. Recent Design Ideas described the “Charlieplexing” method as an ...

There are many power management methods that can be used for LED lighting. You can drive them via a number of dedicated driver ICs available on the market, or even use microcontroller units (MCUs) for ...

LEDs have a special place in every maker's heart, and it's because we all love the ability to create light at moment's notice. Almost every project I have made over the last two decades has included ...

Embedded World 2025: LED design is highlighted by Rutronik with its RAB5 adapter board. It features ams Osram Osire LEDs which are designed for dynamic, ambient lighting. LEDs are customisable to meet ...

Makers, developers and hobbyists that may be looking to add a little colour to their projects for the holiday season might be interested in the new NeoPixel Mini 3535 RGB LEDs, which are now available ...

I’ve seen a lot of Pixel LED projects and know every maker does things differently. I wanted to show you what I am doing for my Pixel LEDs. This post will give you an Arduino Pixel LED Controller ...

The algorithm in this microcontroller design this design drives an LED matrix and provides digital-voltage-readout and bar-like dot displays, showing dots for a graphical output if the input value is ...

The Dabao Evaluation board is a tiny new single-board computer with a USB 2.0 Type-C port, a 20-pin GPIO header, and a custom RISC-V chip called the Baochip-1x. It’s that last bit that makes this ...
