Inspiration
it was one of the beginner projects on the Unhackathon forum that gave me a good intro to programming with Adafruit
What it does
Senses colors from a light sensor from whatever is placed in front of it and emits that color on the motherboard which sends the color to the other neopixels on the chain
How I built it
I connected the Flora to my computer and wrote the code through the Arduino program. I needed to make sure the code was clean as I combined the light sensor with the neopixel chain.
Challenges I ran into
it wouldn't upload all of the time and as a novice I learned that when you put code in the wrong place it gives you an error message when you try to upload it.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I got it to work!
What I learned
that Adafruit can be used for many different applications
What's next for The Neopixel Chain
The Neopixel Chain Blanket to aid those who are afraid of the dark! :) (Now available through most major retailers)
