Overview
Create your very own Alexa voice-controlled devices in under 7 minutes with the Voice Controlled Light Bundle.
This bundle featuring the Arduino MKR WIFI 1010 and the Arduino MKR RGB Shield, combined with the Arduino Alexa Skill, enables you to build the multicolored lamp as featured in the Arduino Alexa Skill video (lamp not provided).
This Bundle contains:
- 1 x Arduino MKR WIFI 1010. Compatible with the Arduino IoT Cloud the MKR WIFI 1010 board interacts with Amazon Alexa’s SmartHomeSkill, responds to voice commands and controls your devices.
- 1 x Arduino MKR RGB Shield. With 84 RGB LEDs at your service, the MKR RGB Shield is ready to light up your room in a myriad of amazing colours. Just plug the MKR RGB shield on top of your MKR WiFi 1010 board and it’s ready shine on request.
All you need to do now is choose whichever object you’d like to act as a lamp. In the video we’ve used a readily available Ikea lamp holder, but you can just as easily opt for a more seasonal feel.

Makers have long asked the question “why bother with an expensive PLC when I can just use an Arduino?” The answer comes down to the priorities and needs of industrial clients. In a factory automation setting, the client will prioritize durability, reliability, and serviceability over the one-time purchase price of the device itself. But to prove that Arduino’s professional turnkey solutions are just as easy to use as their developer-focused educational counterparts, Jeremy Cook leveraged an Arduino Opta micro PLC to build a drum machine. This isn’t any old drum machine that plays sound samples or synthesized notes, but rather a robotic drum machine that makes noise by banging on stuff like a true percussion instrument. Cook could have built this with any Arduino board and a few relays, but instead chose to implement the Opta and new Opta Digital Expansion. That is robust enough for serious commercial and industrial applications, but is still simple to program with the familiar Arduino IDE. Programmers can also use conventional PLC languages if they prefer. In this case, Cook made noise with relays and solenoids. The Opta has four built-in relays and Cook’s sketch flips one of them to make a sound analogous to a hi-hat. Cook added an Arduino Pro Opta Ext D1608S module with its solid-state relays for the other two “drums.” One of those fires a solenoid that taps a small hand drum (the kick drum sound), while the other controls a solenoid that hits a power supply enclosure (the snare sound). Together, those three sounds can cover the basics of a drum track. Cook’s sketch is a drum sequencer program that stores each sound sequence as array, looping through them until turned off. An Opta may be overkill for a project like this one, but this does a great job of demonstrating the ease at which an Arduino user can transition to professional PLC work.
