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 ...
Extremely large-scale antenna arrays, tremendously high frequencies, and new types of antennas are three clear trends in multi-antenna technology for supporting the sixth-generation (6G) networks. To ...
The elegance of Count Dooku’s curved-hilt lightsaber comes to life in this Artsabers Neopixel replica! In this unboxing and review, I test out its smooth swing, bright Neopixel blade, and ...
The Adafruit Metro RP2350 is a Raspberry Pi RP2350 development board that closely follows the Arduino UNO form factor for compatibility with existing Arduino shields. Key features include 37 GPIOs, a ...
Before starting, install the Adafruit NeoPixel library in the Arduino IDE. While you can use other libraries, this one is widely used and simplifies the process.
Embedded real-time clock systems have a large number of applications in practice. The main issue is the accuracy of time they show, which is why performing time synchronization is very important for ...
I have weird problem. I test example code or example with new operator and everything works fine if I have 73 or less RGB leds. If I use 74 or more, everything crash. Can anyone explain it? Debug code ...
Adafruit Metro M7 is a development board based on a 500 MHz NXP i.MX RT1011 Arm Cortex-M7 crossover MCU that follows Arduino UNO form factor and integrates the ESP32-based “AirLift” WiFi module for ...
In this tutorial, we are going to look at how to interface RGB Neopixel LEDs with an Arduino. We will be interfacing the WS2812B LEDs which are also known as NeoPixel.
This NeoPixel LED lighting based on WS2811 driver and Arduino digitally produces red, green, and blue (RGB) lights and the combinations. Originally introduced by Adafruit, the LED strips come with ...
As we discussed in my previous column on this topic, I’m currently playing with a NeoPixel combo comprising a 7-element Jewel mounted inside a 12-element Ring (see Powering the Prognostication ...
