LightPod

A series of examples on how to build a light pod using Arduino MKR1010 and MKR1000 to make nice looking interactive lamps.

List of Examples

The examples increase in complexity step by step, you can go straight for examples 7 and 8 if you feel funky or start from the first one and follow my stream of consciousness while producing this code.
