The LM3914 LED bar graph driver was an amazing chip back in the day. Along with the LM3915, its logarithmic cousin, these chips gave a modern look to projects, allowing dancing LEDs to stand in for a ...

LEDs offers a combination of flexibility and efficiency unmatched by conventional forms of lighting, and are being adopted in architectural- and stage-lighting applications because they emit highly ...

Arduino has launched its next generation of UNO boards, introducing a 32-bit Renesas microcontroller and Espressif ESP32-S3 module, one-click cloud connectivity and plenty of I/O plus a 12×8 red LED ...

Hi there, and welcome to Part 3 of this soon-to-be-heralded mega-mini-series. In Part 1, we discussed the first vacuum tube diodes, moved on to their solid-state (semiconductor) descendants, and then ...

OSIRE® E3731i intelligent RGB LED enables creation of dynamic color and motion effects across hundreds of LEDs The intelligent RGBi uses a new and license-free Open System Protocol for communication ...

Meet the Raspberry Pi Pico, a tiny little microcontroller that lets you build hardware projects with some code running on the microcontroller. Even more interesting, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is ...

Most engineers are quite familiar with typical low-power-indicator LEDs, whether they be surface-mount or the classical through-hole packages. All that's needed to use them is a voltage source and a ...

Automotive interiors have been undergoing a significant transformation over the past decade. Historically, many individual buttons in the cabin served a dedicated function. Interior switches in modern ...
