Community Corner – October 10, 2014: The Featured Projects from this Week
Featured Adafruit Google+ Community Project
(Note: Google+ login required.)
This week Sean Riney shared this awesome mask project he’s working on! We can’t wait to see the final product.
Hey everybody! Just wanted to share with you a mask piece that I’m working on using Neopixels and a Gemma, let me know what you think so far! (read more)
I suspect we’ll be sharing a number of more of these in the coming weeks, perfectly timed for Halloween! (And check out a video of it in action, hosted on his website here.)
I have made several projects using Adafruit components. I have made how-to documents on all of the projects. The projects include a talking BTTF time circuit, talking ET with flashing heart, C3PO, etc. I have documentation and videos on my website on how to do it. I am currently making a Zoltar replica using an Adafruit Arduino and one of your new sound shields.(read more)
There are people making amazing things around the world, are you one of them? Join Adafruit Community! And check out scores of projects they shared this week after the jump!
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 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
