    Is it possible to add a dimmer switch to a USB LED lamp?

    I bought a USB desk lamp. It has a power switch + 2 switches to increase/decrease brightness. But these buttons are hard to press, very slow to operate, and even the darkest setting is still very bright. I'd love to add a true dimmer switch, so I can quickly turn it on and set the brightness in...

    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...
