NEW GUIDE: Color Remote with Circuit Playground Bluefruit @adafruit @johnedgarpark #adafruit
New Learn Guide Alert! John Park’s Color Remote with Circuit Playground Bluefruit Guide shows how to create client and peripheral Bluetooth LE devices with a pair of Circuit Playground Bluefruit boards, and control the RGB NeoPixel LED colors with three slide potentiometers.
You can build a wireless remote control RGB LED NeoPixel color mixer using two Circuit Playground Bluefruit boards and some slide potentiometers. Using Bluetooth LE, the boards can communicate wirelessly with no need for a computer or mobile phone or tablet!
Thanks to the Adafruit Bluefruit Connect and BLE libraries in CircuitPython, setup and coding are incredibly simple. You can get started quickly and then extend this code to all sorts of other remote projects!

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.
