Here is an artistic Arduino project for the fun-minded. The circuit is an Arduino RGB LED controller running on a sweet ‘n’ simple code,but with a little hardware surprise outside the Arduino board.

[Synoptic Labs] stumbled upon an RGB light strip with individually-controllable LEDs. The strip uses 5 volts and is controlled by an HL1606. Because the strips are hard to find, this chip is mostly ...

When we see RGB LEDs used in a project, they’re often used more for aesthetic purposes than as a practical source of light. It’s an easy way to throw some color around, but certainly not the sort of ...
