    Will this code work propertly?

    I have 4 switches and 4 LEDs. I want to turn off the first LED with the first switch, the second one with the second switch, and so on. When I turn off the switch, LED should turn on. All switches connected to PORTA, all LEDs to PORTB. Initially, all LEDs are on. Will this code do the job...

    Motion triggered battery powered dimmable COB LED light

    My view on life, in any field, is not to produce more but to consume less. Everybody told me this is a very eccentric weird mentality. Perhaps they are right. Nevertheless I have to build my project to make a highly efficient, extremely low drain, motion triggered 12V battery powered dimmable...

    Arduino ON led lights up with no USB, no Vin and no 5V power

    Hello, I am using an Arduino Uno for a soldering station project. I am powering the Arduino through USB port using a L7805 regulator and I saw that if I remove the USB power, the ON led still lights up when I am powering the soldering station. Also, the other led's are semi light up. The Vin and...

    Need build a circuit that flashes 4x

    Guys, I need some help. I need to build a circuit, that flashes a LED 4 times (only 4x, in a short time, like less than 1/2 second), every time that i click a bottom (click switch). If you can draw me a circuit that may work, I'll be grateful (cuz I'm still learning circuits).

    How to make Grow Light with LED?

    I made a LED setup with blue and red LED that is supposed to help me with indoor planting. I used total 4 LEDs (2 Red and 2 Blue) for one pot of Portolaca flowers. But I think it is not simulating the sunlight properly. How many LEDs am I supposed to use? How should I make the connection?

    LED + Battery without fading

    Hello everyone, I'm searching for help since electronics are not my field of study... I'm trying to build a simple project that requires an LED with a constant light output (the LED must be wired to a coin battery cell i.e. CR2032). When reading the LUX from the LED I can see the LUX decreasing...

    Display with LEDs - What technique to use?

    I am planing to create kind of a display with LEDs. Round or square, the board's expected size could be around 30 x 30 cm. LEDs' position is not expected to change; just the programing of the driver. Number of LEDs expected to be, most probably, around 64, laid in straight lines. Accuracy of...
