- If you want to get really crazy, hackaday demonstrates how to power 1000 NeoPixels with the Arduino's limited RAM.
- Why not bring your visualizer along with you to a music venue? Mark Easley over at hackster shows us how to integrate some LEDs into your clothes.
- Of course, if you are going to wear it, you may want to consider some portable sources of power. Check out the Sunny Buddy Hookup Guide to learn how to efficiently charge a battery with solar power.
- Or check out the Mean Well LED Switching Power Supply Hookup Guide when daisy chaining LED strips.

Hackers in Residence - The ElectricBone
Drum machines and keyboards have been the standard for making digital music, but how do you make electronic music if you're trained to play the trombone? One of our Hackers in Residence, Carlos Mello, took it upon himself to find a solution to that very question.

How to use the Rotary Switch Potentiometer breakout board, with some sample applications.
Build a Qwiic Jukebox that is Toddler Approved!
Follow this tutorial to build your own custom jukebox. Note, this is designed simple and tough for use primarily with toddlers. It's also a great introduction to SparkFun's Qwiic products!
AzureWave Thing Plus (AW-CU488) Hookup Guide
The SparkFun AzureWave Thing Plus is a Feather form-factor development board equipped with the AW-CU488. We'll highlight key features of the board and show you to get started with the development board. A few Arduino examples will be highlighted to connect to a WiFi router, calculate the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) from an input microphone, output an analog signal to a speaker, and connect an Qwiic-enabled device.
