NEW GUIDE: Color Spinner Camera Ring Light #CircuitPlaygroundExpress #MakeCode
This project demonstrates how to create an easy add-on that can work with any camera, film or digital, to illuminate subjects and scenes with custom colors.
The Camera Ring Light uses a Circuit Playground Express programmed using Microsoft MakeCode to control the color and brightness of a NeoPixel ring and is easy to adapt for different lighting purposes.
This project is a fun introduction to soldering and coding, and requires no previous experience with either!
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.
