Community Corner – September 2, 2016: The Featured Projects from this Week
Featured Adafruit Google+ Community Project
(Note: Google+ login required.)
Jordan Cohen shared his great looking blinking build this week in our Community!
I finished buzz! But have a slight issue..
I took a #solderingsunday class at +FUBAR Labs a few weeks ago and finally just finished up this little guy.
But I have one issue, it doesn’t work on battery power. It works while plugged in USB but not on battery. I think I may have cooked a component, I did 90% of this with lead free solder which needs more heat. Where do you even begin troubleshooting circuits and electrical components? I don’t know how to start. I did change the battery, that much I did know. (read more)
Featured Community Project from the Adafruit Blog
This week on the blog, we featured Juan’s awesome arduino based project!
How to face IoT, the best is trying and making by your self with real hardware, in my case I began with MKR1000 – Arduino, the second challenge is to send to the web the information, in this case I find the platform from Adafruit. (read more)
There are people making amazing things around the world, are you one of them? Join Adafruit Community! And check out scores of projects they shared this week after the jump!
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
