Review of the DMD Dot Matrix Display by John Boxall
posted 2012 Jan 24
Definitely the most eye-catching device we have in our range is the huge new Dot Matrix Display panel, which comes bundled with a ribbon cable and an adaptor designed to fit standard Arduino headers to make it really easy to get started. It's attracted a lot of interest over on the Freetronics Forum, with new features being added to Marc's driver library very rapidly. John Boxall (of Tronixstuff fame) has...

Arduino-driven Christmas light display
posted 2012 Jan 13

It's not clear whether it's done with an Arduino Mega (which is what the description says) or one of our EtherMega boards (which it would be if all the parts came...

New device: Hall Effect and Proximity Sensor Module
posted 2011 Dec 08
The Hall Effect and Proximity Sensor Module is a versatile and tiny device, great for sensing magnets or other physical objects nearby: Applications include detecting shaft rotation: put a magnet on a rotating shaft and then use the Hall Effect Sensor to count / measure the frequency of rotation, giving you RPM. The module also includes a very handy "triggered" LED, so all you need to do to test it...
