The meiji-led-ring is a compact light source that can be mounted on the front of a Meiji microscope. The illuminator uses 24 LEDs along with some high frequency boost drivers to avoid flickering when shooting. The device is powered by the USB-C port. A small ATSAML10 microcontroller is used to control the brightness of the LED driver. The user controls a series of touch sensors from the edge of the PCB.
The led-panel originated from the author's desire to use a donated roll of white LEDs to break out 48 LEDs on a compact board. Its output power should reach about 4W. It has no controller and is purely for testing a set of LEDs to see if they would be suitable for some form of lighting attached to a gooseneck.
Maker LED displays make using LED matrix displays easy. The ready-to-use, fully assembled circuit board has everything you need to run your monitor - just plug it in! Using and customizing the display is easy, with a specially written Arduino library and a dozen pre-made examples. The Maker LED display also has Wi-Fi so it can connect to the Internet to retrieve and display information. Choose between 32 x 9 pixel or 64 x 9 pixel versions and select LED color: white, blue, red, green, orange or violet.
The Micro WS2812 2020 RGB LED Matrix is a micro 25x25 mm 8x8 WS2812-2020 matrix. It's only about 1 square inch, or about a quarter the size of the United States. This micromatrix is daisy chainable, meaning you can stack boards side by side while using only one data pin. Best of all, this matrix is compatible with all other WS2812 related matrix codes and is open source. Despite its small stature, this matrix has everything you need, with pad connections for VCC, ground, data in, and data out. It works with 3.3 V or 5 V and is capable of outputting 16 mA per LED.
The project is a cube shaped 10x10x10 LED matrix controlled by a serial interface.

Want to add lots of LEDs to your Arduino project? HUB75 RGB panels are a great way to do this as they are much cheaper than addressable Neopixel/WS2812 LEDs (typically 10% of the cost per LED). They are also available in a range of pixel densities (from 2mm to 10mm pitch) to better suit your project needs. However, using a microcontroller to display high-quality graphics on a HUB75 panel is complicated because the panel requires precise timing and constant refreshing of pixel data. That's where Teensy 4's SmartLED Shield comes in.
Pixelblaze makes writing new LED patterns fast and fun using its real-time web-based editor and highly optimized expression engine. You can store a hundred patterns and write new ones by entering mathematical expressions or code that update in real time as you type. Pixelblaze is designed to make it easier to program LED patterns and intuitively understand how code and math affect those patterns.
This project started with a conversation with a friend and apparently how the LED based consoles that existed in the 70's have never been revisited
2-layer PCB 9 x 11.4 mm FR-4, 1 mm, 1, HASL with leads, blue solder mask, white silkscreen; very small buffer for WS2813 LED strip.
2 Layers PCB 10 x 16.5 mm FR-4, 1 mm, 1, HASL with lead, White Solder Mask, Black silkscreen; WS2813 buffer and repeater for long range serial transmission
Driver for WS2812, SK6812 or similar LED strips controlled via Bluetooth LE. It supports RGB and WWA LEDs. The drive uses motion and light sensors so in automatic mode it can turn on the lights when it detects the presence of someone in the dark.
