HackSpace Magazine Issue 51: LED animations with CircuitPython #NeoPixels #CircuitPython @HackSpaceMag

Source Node: 1590982

HackSpace magazine issue 51 demonstrates using NeoPixels for LED animations.

Is there anything that says maker quite like blinking LEDs? But, what if you could make LEDs do more than blink? What if you want them to fade in and out, or gently blend between different colours? We’re going to look at how to do this using CircuitPython and the LED_Animations library. This should work on any CircuitPython board with either WS2812B (NeoPixel) or APA102 (DotStar) LEDs. However, we’ve tested it out with Raspberry Pi Pico and WS2812Bs.

The project uses CircuitPython to give nice effects.
