Build a NeoPixel lightsaber for revenge of the 6th!
Yesterday I got strange Arduino Nano ESP32 NeoPixel output until I checked back to some earlier code – in which my comments told me that the Adafruit NeoPixel library uses ESP32 pin numbers, not the Arduino pin numbers. 😂
So, yay! Now shared as a beginner template for Arduino and MicroPython. 😃

Off by one error-- "May the 4th"
Did you mean-- "Cinco de Mayo"?
Whatever you celebrate, there are 5 days left to pick up an ARPS-2, BEAPER Nano, or BEAPER Pico kit at a special price!
Use the force! Build a robot! 🤖 Win a battle! 🤷 🤣
The three biggest challenges for my students learning to program microcontrollers are:
1. Learning syntax
2. Off by one errors
🤣
It's teacher Tuesday!!
Why yes, this is a robot controlling NeoPixels!
I just shared a NeoPixel capstone starter project in #MicroPython for BEAPER Nano and BEAPER Pico (Arduino versions coming soon).
It's part of my beginner learning activities – find them all here: https://github.com/mirobotech
Gridlocker beta 2 is out!

To practice the coding force, mirobo has shared a complete set of beginner learning activities, like this one for BEAPER Pico: https://github.com/mirobotech/BEAPER-Pico
"Develop your Jedi coding skills you must!"

Wanna learn to program microcontrollers? I have the droids you're looking for!
Save 20% on ARPS-2 and BEAPER kits until May 10 using code MAYDAY10 on @lectronz – and May the 4th be with you! 🤖 Beep, boop!
Do you own books about electronics, but could never make it all click? Do you know what a resistor does, but still get stumped designing your own circuits?
If yes, I wrote "The Secret Life of Circuits" with you in mind. All chapters are available now: https://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/blog/secret/
What's better than learning to program a microcontroller and building robots? 🤖
Saving 💰 on an awesome kit that helps you learn to program a microcontroller and build a robot! 😀
Save 20% on BEAPER Nano, BEAPER Pico and APRS-2 kits until May 10 using code MAYDAY10: https://lectronz.com/stores/mirobotech
