By stuffing an Arduino, the Bluetooth module, a servo, and a cardboard gobo inside the lamp shade, he was able to have his […]
There are a lot of different shields out there for Arduino. However, sometimes there arises a need to make your own. Even more plentiful in the world of electronics are integrated circuits that do a lot of nifty things. Some control output, some input, and some are sensors. In this edition of Projects with Ryan Slaugh I show you how to make your own custom proto shield.
