Have you wanted an LED that can fade from deep red to bright purple? Flash like a police light? Turn on with the subtle fade of an incandescent bulb? Flicker like a candle? That's BlinkM.

We've attached an ultra bright wide-angle RGB LED to a microcontroller. Using BlinkM Sequencer, our software that fuses a color picker with a drum machine, you program BlinkM to be any color, and blink and fade in virtually any pattern.

When you've programmed your BlinkM, you unplug it and pop it into your project. Apply 5 volts, and it does its thing, whether that's glowing your favorite pinkish purple, or pulse like an old neon light.

Quick Start requirements:

  • No programming experience!
  • Arduino I/O board (not included, and you only need one to program any number of BlinkMs)
For all software and datasheets, please visit the BlinkM site

HOW TO – Multiplex analog readings – what can go wrong with (high impedance) sensors and how to fix it!
A user in the customer forums had a problem with multiplexing analog signals, they seemed to be very noisy and inconsistent. Turns out it was because the sensors are high impedance. This means that if there is capacitance on the ADC line or on any sort of sample&hold capacitor, it may take a while for read more...
Arduino controlled Silly String shooter
Eric writes in about his Arduino controlled Silly String shooter… here’s a quick rundown of what it does:   Sequence of events: -Detect motion (IR sensor) -Trigger Silly String (servo) -Play sound (funny laugh on a $4 Wal-mart toy recorder) -Transmit RF signal to second Arduino -Second Arduino receives RF signal -Wifi shield sends tweet (follow on Twitter: hackolantern) -Wait 20 seconds before it can read more...

Twittering humador
Longashes (a cigar social network) made a twittering humador… They write - I know what you’re thinking.. “not another device that tweets something!” Yup, another device that tweets something. This time it’s a humidor and it tweets that status of it’s relative humidity and temperature levels. For cigar aficionados, this means a lot. In order to read more...
How to use Pyroelectric (“Passive”) Infrared Sensors (PIR)
PIR sensors allow you to sense motion, almost always used to detect whether a human has moved in or out of the sensors range. They are small, inexpensive, low-power, easy to use and don’t wear out. For that reason they are commonly found in appliances and gadgets used in homes or businesses. They are often read more...
