Meeting Reminder Project with Adafruit’s NeoPixel Ring
Are bells still a thing in middle school? When the teacher is droning on about the trials and tribulations of union organizers in the 1930s, and just as you’re about to doze off a bell rings, and all the students jump up, sling their backpacks over a shoulder, and rush out into the hallway as the teacher calls out about which pages to read that weekend? Whether you’re at work or at school, being with a group can help you know when it’s time for a break or time for a meeting. Working remote has thrown these thrytms off for some folks. If you feel as if you struggle to make meeting times, here’s a project from Diego Avellaneda via hackster.io for you that uses an Adafruit NeoPixel Ring:
Green means you’re good to go 😃, yellow signals a meeting soon, and red warns that your meeting is wrapping up 🛑. It’s intuitive, unobtrusive, and designed for the modern remote worker. Never Miss a Meeting transforms your work-from-home experience by seamlessly integrating into your day, ensuring you’re always connected, never late, and perpetually prepared. Say goodbye to missed opportunities and hello to maximized productivity. With Never Miss, you’re not just keeping time; you’re staying ahead of it.

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.
