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!

Check out the Color Spinner Camera Ring Light on Adafruit Learn System to learn how to make your own!
