Description

Everyone knows good startups start with good design. These days even vulnerabilities become known (and addressed) only if they have good graphic design. Have you heard of CVE-2004-1315? Nope, but I'm certain you know of Heartbleed. Graphic design. What does all graphic design have in common? That's right, color. Enter the Any Colored Button.

you should check out the APA102C LED it uses two wires for serial but can be updated much faster than the neopixel can.

Are you sure? yes | no

Not sure what the benefit would be. It's only a single LED so update time isnt' an issue and at present I'm only running 3 wires total (DIN, VCC, GND). But, I'll check those out regardless for potential future use. Thanks for the tip!

Are you sure? yes | no

Read up on those LEDs, they seem cool. I suddenly want to do a POV project.

Are you sure? yes | no
