Description: Lorraine wanted to use lots of her skills by creating an interactive window for her neighbors to play with. Each season the window will change the theme and how you can interact with it. Friends, family, and neighbors can change the color of the window from the street. This season the project uses a Micro: bit connected to a raspberry pi over UART. Three capacitive touch buttons sit on the wall outside connected to the Micro: bit. The Raspberry Pi sends signals to two sets of lights: wired NeoPixels and over infrared signals. This project gives lots of useful tips like connecting a Micro: bit to a Raspberry Pi over serial, without using a USB cable. Adding capacitive touch buttons to the Micro: bit. Easily set up a Raspberry Pi with individually controllable RGB LEDs and how to hack cheap RGB LED lights over infrared: bit.ly/3G6pO67 Engage with the element14 presents team on the element14 Community - suggest builds, find project files and behind the scenes video: bit.ly/2MFMG0v Visit the element14 Community for more great activities and free hardware: Tech spotlights: bit.ly/2KLz0TS Roadtest and Reviews: bit.ly/2KH4fj3 Project14: bit.ly/2wPnajx #0:00 Welcome to element14 presents #0:57 Project Overview #2:40 Micro:bit and Raspberry Pi #6:38 Adding Buttons #8:29 Digging up the Garden #9:49 Infrared Lights #15:51 Final Demo! #17:17 Give your Feedback #RaspberryPi #RGB #LED #NeoPixel
