Power
Installing LED Trailer Lights with Separate Components
Difficulty

Upgrade or replace broken or faulty trailer lights with this simple step-by-step guide.

Power
DC-DC Dual Battery Setup
Difficulty

How to choose and install a second battery in your car or 4WD for camping, or just running a fridge to keep the drinks cold on road trips and site work!

LCD Arduino Clock
Test & Tools
LCD Arduino Clock
Difficulty

This is an easy project to assemble- just one main board and two shields, but gives a fully functional, easy to read clock display which retains the time, even when disconnected from power.

Power
Solar MPPT Charge Controller
Difficulty

Wondered what goes into Solar charge controllers? And what makes MPPT better than any of the others? Find out yourself, by making this Solar MPPT Charge Controller project. Uses a simple Arduino Nano to control and regulate the flow of power from the panel to the battery, and has a output relay to automatically turn off when the Battery gets too low. A great project for DIY amatures and solar aficionados.

Entertainment
Constructing a Wired Infrared Remote Extender
Difficulty

IR (infrared) remote controls have been around for about 50 years, with TV being one of the first major applications. They are used in many fields, so components and modules for IR remote control systems are widely available. Here’s how to use them to build an IR remote control extender.

GPS Speedometer
GPS Speedometer
Difficulty

Using our Arduino-compatible GPS module and TFT Screen, this project displays basic GPS information such as longitude, latitude, altitude, speed, and distance travelled from point A to B.
