Hot/Cold LEDs uses little more than an ultrasonic distance sensor, an Arduino, and some common components to build a basic circuit. We then use software loaded onto the Arduino to explore three different experiments with the same circuit: a proximity program that glows “hot” the closer you get to the sensor, a motion-based game, and a distance trigger. Watch the video below to see each of these software-powered projects in action. Circuits really can be this easy – and fun!
All year long we’ve been building up a repository of beginner-friendly electronics projects over at Weekend Projects, exploring everything from battery-less and battery-powered transmission to making our own bass guitar and a powered amp to hear it on. Hot/Cold LEDs joins our Arduino-based projects, which have also included a touchless 3D interface made from everyday materials and a homemade data logger, among other exciting projects.
Sign up below for the Weekend Projects Newsletter to receive the projects before anybody else does, get tips, see other makers’ builds, and more.
