1-Wire Weather Station

The weather station in this project is quite basic, measuring only temperature, pressure, and humidity, but it may be easily expanded to measure other weather components, such as wind speed and rainfall. The design is based on using a series of…

3x3x3 LED Cube

LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are rectifying semiconductor devices that convert electrical energy into electromagnetic radiation. You can use these devices to create a 3-dimensional light display. LED cubes require some care and good soldering skills…

Project

Chatbot, an Artificially Intelligent Microcontroller

The term "Chatbot" is used for a computer or computer program that is made to emulate some form of human intelligence through conversation. In this project, you will learn how easy it is to make a specific microcontroller—an Arduino™ Uno—seem as…

Text-Controlled RGB LED

A red, green, and blue (RGB) light-emitting diode (LED) is a useful electronic component that can produce visible light in a variety of colors. This is done by varying the intensity of the light output of the three different color LED elements (red,…
