The initial goal for this project was to build a project enclosure out of wood. I initially had no idea what project I would do with it. I designed the dimensions so that an Arduino could fit inside the box and allow for some space on top for a shield, some sensors and buttons....
Making the Scary Monkey project with my son has been a lot of fun so I decided to make another project for the kids. I built an interactive RGB lamp. The lamp has no switch and no dimmer, it’s entirely controlled with radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. The RFID reader is hidden in the...
Last month we went to the zoo with the kids. We played fair games and won a few cheap stuffed animals. They were so crappy we decided we would try to make something fun out of it. Around the same time, at my son’s summer camp, the instructor was telling them scary stories. That...

Light Emitting Diodes (LED) are everywhere. There is a good reason for that, we love them! Most of us are using LEDs to communicate information, debug our code or simply add some style to our electronic projects. One of the first things one normally want to do is pack a bunch of LED to...
