Genesis Poi: DotStar LED Persistence-of-Vision
High tech, all-season, water- and playa-resistant poi that you can build and customize yourself!
by Phillip Burgess
Persistence of vision (POV) is the illusion of a solid image where there is none — a task for which LEDs and microcontrollers are a natural fit. Poi is a performance art of spinning tethered weights. Some of the most dramatic performances use fire poi! We sought to create something with that level of “wow,” but safer and usable indoors or out. And so these “Genesis” POV-poi were born.
Adafruit 20W Stereo Audio Amplifier - MAX9744
Blast your tunes with a high-efficiency class D amplifier
by lady ada
Pump up the volume with this 20W stereo amplifier! This slim little board has a class D amplifier onboard that can drive 2 channels of 4-8 ohm impedance speakers at 20W each. Power it with 5-12VDC using the onboard DC power jack and plug stereo line level into the 3.5mm stereo headphone jack and jam out with ease. Since it's class D, its completely cool-running, no heat sinks are required and it's extremely efficient - up to 93% efficiency makes it great for portable or battery powered rigs.

NeoPixel Painter
Next-generation light painting with NeoPixels and Arduino
by Phillip Burgess
Light painting is an artistic medium combining light, motion and long-exposure photography. For as long as a camera’s shutter is open, a single point of light in motion will create a continuous streak in the final photograph. Digital technology takes light painting to the next level…dozens of point lights, with color and brightness individually under computer control, weave a swath of awesome across the completed frame. Adafruit’s NeoPixel strips, combined with the Arduino microcontroller and a supporting cast of parts, make highly refined digital light painting achievable!
