Remote-control colour-changing cloud

 Using some polyfill stuffing and a basic Arduino circuit, Instructables user "dablondeemu" created a project for a class which is incredibly simply - yet visually stunning. It's simply an Arduino controlling a variety of LEDs, and with the use of an infra-red receiver it can be controlled remotely (for example, from a ceiling). This would be a great project to share with younger people or introduce someone to the world of Arduino:


For more information and the build instructions, click here. And for more, we're on twitter and Google+, so follow us for news and product updates as well.

If this type of project interests you and you're new to the Arduino world, check out our new Experimenter's Kit for Arduino:


The package includes a wide variety of parts, sensors and modules including: a servo motor, lights, buttons, switches, sound, sensors, breadboard, wires and more. Furthermore a Freetronics Eleven Arduino-compatible board is included to make this an extensive hobby experimenter, inventor and starter kit. However we don't leave you alone to figure it all out, included is a great project and instruction booklet, plus access to a supporting web page and software examples. In other words - this is everything you need to get started for a fun range of electronics and Arduino related projects!
