You've installed WipperSnapper firmware on your board and connected it to Adafruit IO. Next, let's learn how to use Adafruit IO!
The Adafruit IO supports a large number of components. Components are physical parts such as buttons, switches, sensors, servos, LEDs, RGB LEDs, and more.
The following pages will get you up and running with WipperSnapper as you interact with your board's LED, read the value of a push button, send the value of an I2C sensor to the internet, and wirelessly control colorful LEDs.
Parts
The following parts are required to complete the WipperSnapper essentials pages for this board:
- An I2C sensor like the MCP9808 temperature sensor.
You can substitute your sensor for the suggested MCP9808 used in this guide, see your product's learn guide for WipperSnapper instructions tailored specifically to that sensor / component.
If you don't have one then you can test I2C functionality by running an I2C Scan and checking for the built in TLV320DAC3100 audio DAC (I2C address 0x18).
- Cable or set of wires to connect your I2C component (like our handy StemmaQT cables for I2C)
- A variable resistance component, like a rotary potentiometer or light-dependent resistor. We recommend using this 10K variable resistor (potentiometer) which comes with an appropriate cable (JST-PH 3pin male).
