Here’s a little packing video I made when I was trying to see how fast I could pack. Managed 5 in just over a minute…

Wemos Demo Sketch for RasPiO InsPiRing

Posted on by

This works on Wemos D1 mini

#define FASTLED_ESP8266_D1_PIN_ORDER  // this lets you use Wemos pin numbering
#include<FastLED.h>                   // this brings in FastLED
#define NUM_LEDS 24                   // set LED number
#define DATA_PIN 7
#define CLOCK_PIN 5

CRGBArray<NUM_LEDS> leds;

    void setup() { 
        FastLED.addLeds<APA102, DATA_PIN, CLOCK_PIN, BGR, DATA_RATE_MHZ(12)>(leds, NUM_LEDS);
    }

void loop() {
      FastLED.clear();
      // Turn the first led red for 1 second
      //leds[0] = CRGB::Red; 
      //leds[1] = CRGB::Green;
      //leds[2] = CRGB::Blue; 
      //FastLED.show();
      //delay(1000);

      for(int i=0; i<NUM_LEDS; i++){
          leds[i].setRGB( 255, 0, 0);
      }
      FastLED.show();
      delay(1000);
      for(int i=0; i<NUM_LEDS; i++){
          leds[i].setRGB( 0, 255, 0);
      }
      FastLED.show();
      delay(1000);
      for(int i=0; i<NUM_LEDS; i++){
          leds[i].setRGB( 0, 0, 255);
      }
      FastLED.show();
      delay(1000);

Portsplus Picademy – new version.

NEW – Portsplus Picademy = Port Numbers and Alternative Functions

It was found that Picademy attendees quite often put the Portsplus on the wrong way up. So I decided to do a special Picademy edition as well as the regular Portsplus. It also has rather fancy gold-plated lettering for RasPiO and Picademy. It should appeal to hardware hackers as well because it has the alternative functions on the reverse side.

New Product: RasPiO LCD20. 20×4 i2c LCD for RasPiO Duino and Raspberry Pi

Posted on by

Today we launched the RasPiO LCD20, which is a lovely 20×4 i2c LCD for RasPiO Duino and Raspberry Pi.

Since it’s i2c it can be run from either a Raspberry Pi or a RasPiO Duino with just two data wires and two power wires. It really is a lovely bit of kit…
