RGB LED panels are a great way of displaying colorful texts, images, and animation. In this 3-part tutorial, I am going to demonstrate how to hookup our 16×32 RGB LED panel kit to an Arduino Uno board and run some demo sketches. Our 16×32 RGB LED matrix panel kit includes everything you need to connect it to an Arduino Uno board. The kit includes: One 16×32 RGB LED matrix panel One RGB connector shield for Arduino Uno One IDC cable to connect the RGB matrix panel to the RGB shield One power supply connector for the RGB matrix Note that the power supply

New product: 16×32 RGB LED panel + Arduino Uno connector shield

Posted on by Leave a comment

Today, we have added a new and colorful product to our Tindie store. It is a colorful RGB LED matrix panel kit that includes a 16×32 RGB panel, a RGB connector shield for Arduino Uno, a 2×8 IDC cable, and a power supply connecting cable for the RGB panel. The RGB panel operates at 5V and requires 12 digital I/O pins of Arduino Uno for full control of the display. We designed the RGB matrix connector shield to allow super easy connection setup between the LED display panel and the Arduino Uno board. Features: Operates at 5V (2A rated power supply

16-channel wifi remote using ESP8266

Posted on by One comment

Hari Wiguna has shared on Hackaday.io this interesting scheme of making a 16-channel Wifi remote using ESP8266 and PCF8574 I/O expander chips. PCF8574 device provides an 8-bit I/O expansion for any microcontroller through an I2C interface. This Wifi remote consists of a transmitting remote unit and a receiving control unit, both of which use one ESP-01 module and two PCF8574 devices. The remote unit has 16 push switches connected to the PCF8574 I/O pins, whereas the receiving unit has 16 LEDs connected in a similar fashion to the two PCF8574 chips. The remote ESP-01 module operates as a web client that reads

Arduino wireless joystick

Posted on by Leave a comment

taifur has posted great instructions about how he built an Arduino powered wireless joystick that can be used as a console for playing PC games. His design features a joystick module and 5 buttons, with which you can control the mouse cursor as well as implement any 5 keyboard functions (such as W, A, S, D and Space are the most commonly used keyboard buttons for games). My Arduino wireless joystick has two parts. One is receiver which will be connected to PC via USB port. Another is transmitter and this is the actual joystick in your hand. As I mentioned earlier, Receiver unit
