“Best of Adafruit” Photo & Video Series Day 37 #photography #art #design #wfh #bestofadafruit
Throughout this week, the Adafruit photo team will be posting a “Best of Adafruit” photo each day!
Check in as we take you back to all of our favorite photos and videos.
For our day 37 post, peep this amazing open-source disco ball project! This DIY LED Disco Ball is made using Adafruit’s 12mm LED pixels, an Arduino, and two 2.4GHz XBee’s (for wireless disco control!). The LED pattern is controlled by the open-source graphics language, Processing so it works on Windows, Mac, or Linux computers. The ball pattern is made of a dozen laser cut acrylic panels that are zip-tied together and the hanging cord is also the power supply cable.
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 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
