Simple Arduino-based "party button" with LED effects

 Time for something different and entertaining with this simple project by Arduino enthusiast "#ben" - who has created a simple system that  has a party button - which when depressed commands the Arduino to blink LEDs to the rhythm of an older and possibly cringe-worthy song as shown in the following video:


When working with Arduino you have to start somewhere, and this example shows how quick and easy you can control digital outputs. For complete details including the sketch and schematic, head over to the project page. And for more, we're on twitter and Google+, so follow us for news and product updates as well.

If you found the project above interesting - but not sure how to start with Arduino - then the best way to learn is with our 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! 

So to get started or for more information and to order, check out the product page.
