In the first part of the process, I started with basic breadboard components and circuitry that mimic my design then step-by-step swapped out components to those that I’d use in the prototype.<\/p>\n

ITERATION 1:<\/strong>
\nI started off with doing the basic physical computing digital input\/digital output lab<\/a>. I hooked up two regular LEDs to the breadboard, along with a button.<\/p>\n

ITERATION 2:<\/strong>
\nI switched out one of the regular LEDs for a Flora NeoPixel LED that I hooked up with alligator clips. I also switched out the button for a snap.<\/p>\n

ITERATION 3:<\/strong>
\nThen I switched out the uno for the Adafruit Gemma micro-controller. Disregarding much of what I’ve been told about new components, I just simply tried to run the code. Obviously this didn’t work. So then I dutifully did my research and went to the Adafruit website<\/a> where there is a TON of very-thorough documentation.<\/p>\n

Went through the process of installing the library and was able to get a snap to turn the onboard LED on the Gemma on and off.<\/p>\n

ITERATION 4:<\/strong>
\nHooked up a single neopixel to the gemma. Got it to turn on.<\/p>\n

Was also able to partially do the strand test, but then got this weird warning related to my USB and it shut off.<\/p>\n
