EE and firmware developer [Enrico] had played with LEDs as a kid, burning out his fair share of them by applying too much current. With the benefit of his firmware chops, he set about creating a board ...

Looking for a simple circuit to control the light intensity of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) or similar lighting sources? Here is an Arduino based circuit with three independent pulse width modulated ...

This isn’t the be-all, end-all lighting-control system, but it’s both convenient and it can solve a common problem, especially in older homes. Philips’ Hue connected LED light bulbs are among my ...
