In this tutorial you will learn how to drive a 8×8 led matrix using MAX7219 display driver IC.
In this instructable I’m going to show you how to Interface with LED matrix using an Arduino and MAX7219 IC, this project can be used to make low resolution images using LEDs. This project is very simple to build and serves as a basics to getting started with controlling a large number of LEDs using the Arduino Uno.

Open-source sensor beacon platform designed especially for makers, developers and IoT companies. Some of the features are:
A year ago we started a design process with one goal: to create a superior open-source sensor beacon platform to fulfill the needs of developers, makers, hobbyists, students and even IoT companies and normal people. We managed to create one of the most advanced Bluetooth sensor products in the world.

Dark activated LED light is a simple project which operates a LED when the light falling on the LDR goes below a set point. The circuit is built using LM393 comparator, LDR as light sensor, preset (potentiometer) for sensitivity adjustment, transistor to drive the LED. The project can also be considered for use in energy saving application.

In this tutorial we are going to learn the detailed working of HMC5883 with arduino nano.
The HMC5883is a digital compass designed for low-field magnetic sensing.This device has a wide magnetic field range of +/-8 Oe, and an output rate of 160 Hz. The HMC5883 sensor includes automatic degaussing strap drivers, offset cancellation, and a 12-bit ADC that enables 1° to 2° compass heading accuracy. All I²C Mini Modules are designed to operate at 5VDC.

The Liquid Crystal Library has two quite useful functions scrollDisplayLeft() and scrollDisplayRight(). These functions scroll the whole display. That is, they scroll both lines on a 1602 LCD and all four lines on a 2004 LCD. What we often need is the ability to scroll a single line on these displays rather than the whole display. Also, we often want to scroll an entire line off the screen rather than just by one position, as the functions in the Liquid Crystal Library offer. This Instructable provides functions to do just that, and so should be thought of as an addition to the scrollDisplayLeft() and scrollDisplayRight() functions in the Liquid Crystal Library.

Maxim’s family of ModelGauge m5 standalone fuel gauges provides SHA-256 authentication with a 160-bit secret key to make it harder to clone battery packs. The ICs also implement the ModelGauge m5 algorithm, which converts raw measurements of battery voltage, current, and temperature into accurate state-of-charge (SOC%), absolute capacity (mAhr), time-to-empty, and time-to-full readings. by Susan Nordyk @ end.com:
ModelGauge m5 automatically compensates for cell aging, temperature, and discharge rate. As the battery approaches near empty, ModelGauge m5 invokes an error-correction mechanism that eliminates any error.
The MAX17201 and MAX17211 monitor a single-cell pack, while the MAX17205 and MAX17215 monitor and balance a 2S or 3S pack or monitor a multiple-series cell pack. In addition to high accuracy and age forecasting, the fuel gauges offer low power consumption. The MAX17201 and MAX17211 have a quiescent current of 18 µA when active and 9 µA in hibernate mode. The same specifications for the MAX17205 and MAX17215 are 25 µA and 12 µA, respectively.

With its APM-16D17-05-DF8-TR8 and APM-16D17-06-DF8-TR8 ambient light and proximity sensors, Everlight aims to save energy and reduce unwanted signals and noises when used in smartphones, tablet PCs, residential smart lighting and digital signage applications. [via]
Both series use a specially coated photo diode with an optical response similar to human eyes. They have a common I²C interface allowing them to be driven with a supply voltage of only 1.7V. They are optimized to sense the ambient brightness and adjust the backlight of a screen to the most clear and comfortable settings. For example, the screen gets brighter in shining daylight but darkens in a dark environment.
