New Video! EyeLights LED Glasses and Driver @ecken @videopixil
Hey folks, for this week’s project video we’re taking look at the new EyeLights LED Glasses panel and driver board. We designed and 3D printed a set of frames for attaching the PCBs. If you’d like to design and model up something unique, please check out our 3D Models of them available on our 3D CAD parts GitHub Repo.
With the accelerometer you can make motion reactive projects like these fun googly eyes. With the PDM microphone, you can make audio reactive projects like this spectrum visualizer. You can wireless change the color of the LEDs using the Bluefruit App for your mobile device.
You can also type out text and send it over Bluetooth to change up the scrolling message.
The LED driver board features the nRF52840 which has native USB so it can work with either CircuitPython or Arduino. The panel has 116 RGB LEDs that form a grid for scrolling text and 2x LED rings that make this into a unique arrangement.

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.
