RGB :: Common Cathode, Common Anode

As you are all aware I was surprised by the fact that, while most of the 2021 kits have common cathode RGB LEDs, a significant number have common anode RGB LEDs. We are going to make the most of this...

Threshold an Analog Sensor

Many times when using an analog sensor you will simply want to know if the sensor has changed enough to trigger a different event or behaviour. For example you may want to know when a room changes from bright (lights...
