Today I received my copy of The Best of instructables, Volume 1. It&#8217;s a compilation of the best DIY projects found on the instructables site. Full of fantastic things, that you can do yourself. Flipping through the pages makes you want to go to your workbench and try them out. 
And on page 111, tataaa, [...]]]></description>

Lately I was playing with my dual color LED matrix from Sparkfun. It is a matrix of 8 by 8 dual color (red and green) LEDs that measures 5 cm by 5 cm. I just had some sprites flickering across the matrix as the magnifying glass of my &#8220;third hand&#8221; came in the way. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 

This is a remake of the fireflies which I did a year ago. I was always fascinated by the emergence of patterns. One I like most is the synchronization of hundreds or thousands of fireflies. First they flash randomly but after some time and influencing each other, they flash in sync.
This circuit simulates fireflies with [...]]]></description>

Some days ago I received my new PCBs. This time I tried Sparkfun&#8217;s BatchPCB. BatchPCB is a specialized service to enable even smallest orders. They collect some smallers orders and have them produced in a batch at Gold Phoenix. So the smallest order is a square inch.
The quality looks really good, as far as I [...]]]></description>

LCDs are often used in microcontroller projects. Most used are these green character displays with two or more rows to display menus, status or debug messages. With mass production of mobile phones, color LCDs get that cheap, that they can be used as replacement.
Some time ago I ordered a Nokia 6100 LCD including breakout board [...]]]></description>

Today my first PCBs arrived. Hooray! For me, this is definitely like reaching the next level in DIY technologies.

I chose three simple circuits that I wanted to be produced.  After  some research I  decided to go with Olimex, a PCB service in Bulgaria. They are offering a very good price even for [...]]]></description>

The idea is to implement PWM to control the color and brightness of the LED and put it in the controller. That means [...]]]></description>
