Use the trigger sensorĀ sticker toĀ turn your LEDs on or off for approximately three seconds when triggered. The trigger sensor sticker has fourĀ pads: + and – for power, a signal pad, and a sensing pad. To trigger this stickerĀ simultaneously touch the sensor trace and the – trace. ThisĀ will cause the voltage onĀ the signal pad to briefly […]
Sound Sensor Tutorial
Use the sound sensor sticker to control the brightness of your LEDs with sound. You can tap, yell, or blow into the sound sensor sticker to make the LEDs glow brighter. The light sensorĀ sticker has three pads: + and – for power and a signal pad. The sticker also contains a small microphone thatĀ allows it […]
Light Sensor Tutorial
Use the light sensor stickerĀ toĀ control the brightness of your LEDs with the light sensor. The light sensorĀ sticker has three pads: + and – for power and a signal pad that generates the pattern. The more light the sticker is exposed to, the higher the voltage on the signal, which causes the lights to become brighter […]
Effects Sticker Tutorial
Use the effect stickers to make your LEDs shine different patterns, depending on which sticker you choose: blink on and off, fade in and out, pulse in a heartbeat and twinkle like a star. The effect sticker has three pads: + and – for power and a signal pad that generates the pattern. The signal […]
