Each season the window will change 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 setting up a Raspberry Pi with individually controllable RGB LEDs and how to hack cheap RGB LED lights over infrared.</span></p> <p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p> <h3

style="background-color:#e9f6fc;border:1px solid #b8d7e5;margin:0;max-width:744px;padding:8px;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:&#39;Open Sans&#39;, Arial, sans-serif;text-align:justify;">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 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 setting up a Raspberry Pi with individually controllable RGB LEDs and how to hack cheap RGB LED lights over infrared.</span></p> <p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p> <h3

style="background-color:#e9f6fc;border:1px solid #b8d7e5;margin:0;max-width:744px;padding:8px;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:&#39;Open Sans&#39;, Arial, sans-serif;text-align:justify;">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 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 setting up a Raspberry Pi with individually controllable RGB LEDs and how to hack cheap RGB LED lights over infrared.</span></p> <p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p> <h3

sans-serif;text-align:justify;">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 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 setting up a Raspberry Pi with individually controllable RGB LEDs and how to hack cheap RGB LED lights over infrared.</span></p> <p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p> <h3

sans-serif;text-align:justify;">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 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 setting up a Raspberry Pi with individually controllable RGB LEDs and how to hack cheap RGB LED lights over infrared.</span></p> <p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p> <h3

sans-serif;text-align:justify;">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 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 setting up a Raspberry Pi with individually controllable RGB LEDs and how to hack cheap RGB LED lights over infrared.</span></p> <p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p> <h3

Arial, sans-serif;text-align:justify;">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 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 setting up a Raspberry Pi with individually controllable RGB LEDs and how to hack cheap RGB LED lights over infrared.</span></p> <p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p> <h3

Arial, sans-serif;text-align:justify;">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 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 setting up a Raspberry Pi with individually controllable RGB LEDs and how to hack cheap RGB LED lights over infrared.</span></p> <p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p> <h3

Arial, sans-serif;text-align:justify;">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 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 setting up a Raspberry Pi with individually controllable RGB LEDs and how to hack cheap RGB LED lights over infrared.</span></p> <p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p> <h3

sans-serif;text-align:justify;">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 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 setting up a Raspberry Pi with individually controllable RGB LEDs and how to hack cheap RGB LED lights over infrared.</span></p> <p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p> <h3

Arial, sans-serif;text-align:justify;">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 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 setting up a Raspberry Pi with individually controllable RGB LEDs and how to hack cheap RGB LED lights over infrared.</span></p> <p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p> <h3
