More Fun With Hardware and CircuitPython - IoT, Wearables, and more!
summary
Shows working projects: a Bluetooth-controlled LED jacket built with an nrf52 feather and 3D‑printed hexagons, a battery‑powered social‑energy lanyard whose code is on get dot io social battery, and Pi Portal examples for weather and Azure IoT plant monitoring. Demonstrates sensors (temperature, humidity, light), BLE using the Bluefruit Connect app, power and soldering tradeoffs, and the exact wiring and libraries used with CircuitPython so viewers see hardware, code, and connectivity that actually work.
