38. Prototype - Sound reactive Lighting for Christmas tree

Hey friends!

Christmas is near and you would have probably began to plan about decorating your Christmas tree. Today I am going to teach you about making sound reactive lighting for your Christmas tree. This is a prototype, so I have tried to give you an idea about how this would work. I have made a ring and attached some LEDs to it. In this case, I have used both Red and Green LEDs as Red and Green are two of the Christmas colours. I have placed the ring around my plant, within its pot, to show how my plant is illuminated while the Christmas carol plays.
This project is an improved version of  my Music Reactive LEDs project.

Supplies

  • Arduino Uno/ Nano
  • USB Type A/ B cable (for Arduino Uno) or USB Type A to mini B cable (for Arduino Nano)
  • Solderless Breadboard
  • Resistors (x6) - 220 Ω
  • LEDs (x6)  - Red and Green (3 LEDs of each colour)
  • Big Sound sensor module (KY-038)
  • Copper wire - 19 gauge thick

Essential Tools

  • Soldering iron
  • Solder

Setup 



Each Red LED must be connected between two Green LEDs. 

Connections

Each LED must be connected to a PWM port in your Arduino Uno/ Nano. A black wire must be soldered to the edge of the copper wire and must be connected to ground. Take three wires and solder each of them to the Green LEDs' anode and solder the other end of the wire to each of the resistors before connecting them to the PWM ports. Repeat the same procedure with the Red LEDs.
You will be needing a Big sound sensor module for this project - to provide analog values depending on the sound levels of the music.
  • S (Analog) - A0
  • (+) - 5V
  • ( - ) - Ground (GND)

Coding

Please follow the codes from the first version of this project. The link is provided as a hyperlink in the first section of this page.
If you have any doubts with the coding, please don't hesitate to ask them in the comments section below or send me an email at arduinoprojectsbyr@gmail.com.

Final Look

85. Analog and Digital Clock on Adafruit TFT Display using Arduino

 Hey everyone, Sorry I have not posted in a while. Today, I will be presenting you my Analog and Digital Clock on Adafruit TFT Display using Arduino. You can find the schematic and code explanation within this post. Read on further to learn how I did this project. Hardware components used in this project Arduino Mega 2560 Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch Shield for Arduino w/ Capacitive Touch - You could also use any other Arduino compatible TFT display DS1307 RTC Module Solderless Breadboard - Half+ (This is optional if you are connecting the RTC module to the development board directly) Jumper wires (x4) - Male/Male jumper wires if using solderless breadboard. Female/Male if connecting RTC module directly to Arduino Mega. Software apps Arduino IDE - latest version is recommended Setup Connections DS1307 RTC Module SCL - A5 SDA - A4 VCC - 5V GND - Ground Adafruit TFT Touch shield You can simply place the Adafruit TFT Touch shield onto your Arduino Mega 2560 development board.

51. Buzz wire game using Arduino

Hello everyone! This is my first Arduino project in 2020 and it is going to be a fun and simple project. You would have heard of the Buzz Wire, a steady hand game, and today you will be learning to make one using Arduino. Hardware components used in this project Arduino Nano USB Type A to mini B cable (for Arduino Nano) Solderless Breadboard - Mini and Full-size LEDs (x2) - Green and Red Resistors (x2) - 220 Ω  Active Buzzer module (KY-012) LCD display module with I2C interface - 16x2 Male-to-Male Jumper wires (x4) - 10cm Female-to-Male Jumper wires (x5) - 20 cm Jumpers (x5) - to reduce the usage of wires Copper wire  Tape (or any form of insulation)  Setup Your hardware setup must look somewhat similar to the ones in the images above. The beginning and end of the copper wire maze must be taped to prevent conductivity between the wire loop and maze. Connections LCD display module with I2C interface GND - Ground VCC - 5V SDA -...
