Having issues viewing your print in a dark lit room? In this tutorial, we will be using LED strips to light up a print bed's area on a LulzBot 3D printer!

Learn how to hook up the LilyPad Tri-Color LED and use a common anode RGB LED in e-textile projects.

Getting started guide for the Avago APDS-9960 color, proximity, and gesture sensor.

Hook a light-sensing photocell up to an Arduino to create an ambient light monitor.

Build a wireless glove controller with Arduinos to trigger an LED using XBees!

Learn how to connect that sweet transparent OLED.

The APDS-9301 sensor is an I2C connected luminosity sensor which returns measurements in lux.

See the invisible world of infrared radiation using the FLIR Dev Kit and Raspberry Pi.

Make a Breakout clone with the BadgerHack Gaming Add-On Kit.

Get to know the LP55231 9-channel LED driver., and learn how to configure and program this surprisingly flexible IC.

The TFMini is a ToF (Time of Flight) LiDAR sensor capable of measuring the distance to an object as close as 30 cm and as far as 12 meters! The TFMini allows you to easily integrate LiDAR into applications traditionally reserved for smaller sensors such as the SHARP GP-series infrared rangefinders. With the added Qwiic feature, you can quickly connect to the sensor via I2C!

A project tutorial to add an extra effect for dancers performing a choreographed piece. The harness can be added quickly under a costume.

Bring the ability to detect light levels to any project with the SparkFun TEMT6000 Ambient Light Sensor Breakout.

The SparkFun MAX30105 Particle Sensor is a flexible and powerful sensor enabling sensing of distance, heart rate, particle detection, even the blinking of an eye. Get ready. Set. Shine!

This scarf is embedded with a ribbon of LEDs that illuminate when it gets dark out, making yourself more visible to vehicle and other pedestrians.

Add changing colors to your wearable projects using LilyPad Pixel Boards.

How to get the most out of the infrared receivers and transmitters included in the IR Control Kit.
