This article will help you build a simple Arduino-based DCC system. Growing up in the 1980s I was living the dream. I had an HO layout on a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood in my parents' basement in Reading, ...

Electrical power systems engineers need practical methods for predicting solar output power under varying environmental conditions of a single panel. By integrating an Arduino-based real-time data ...

In this project, we are going to build something very simple project, a temperature controlled relay that is used to turn on a dc fan. You can actually change the DC Fan to other electrical devices ...

AC loads are everywhere around us because at least home appliances are supplied with the mains power. Therefore, we always face the situations that we want to have full control (dimming) over an AC ...

Arduino fans, this project turns TVs on when you want them off. It makes a perfect April Fools' Day joke or gag gift—or, in the spirit of Evil Week, use it anytime of year to drive people crazy. You ...

The rise of low-cost, hacker-friendly electronics is fueling a new wave of hardware hobbyists. Using programmable boards like the Arduino and dirt-chip computers like the Raspberry Pi, you can build ...

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ve probably seen us refer to the Arduino microcontroller on a number of occasions. This little circuit board is at the heart of many DIY projects, ...
