Building A 16×32 NeoPixel Display

Earlier this year while attending a FabNow Conferance in Ft. Worth I came across a few exibits with Neo Pixel Rings. I was fascinated with the color levels and the fact they could be controlled with a single wire!

NeoPixel 16 Ring Fun

NeoPixels are fun and amazing. In my project I connected 4 of the AdaFruit NeoPixel – 16 RGBW Leds together. What caught my attention and curiosity was that you can control each of these RGBW Leds using just one wire.This feat is accomplished with a very timing-specific protocol. Since the protocol

Understanding Data Types for variables

A data type in a programming language is a set of data with values having predefined characteristics. Examples of data types are: integer, floating point unit number, character, string, and pointer.

Arduino GPS Clock

I built the Arduino GPS Clock by Tony DiCola over at Adafruit. The clock was very cool, setting it’s time from the satellites, however, I soon started feeling like I was wasting my GPS shield by only using it to get time. So I decided to use the RGB LCD Shield which
