The Rainbow is a beautiful LED display. Onboard, there are 13 individually addressable LEDs – all driven by a single IO pin. Alligator Banana-plug connections make the rainbow a perfect companion for micro:bit or Circuit Playground since there's no soldering required.
The GlowBit Rainbow getting started guide covers off on the setup and an example first project. From there, remix to your heart's content. This is the perfect companion for the micro:bit onboard accelerometer and compass, along with other creative ways to display useful information such as angles, gauges, or colourful patterns on a rainbow.
GlowBit devices use modern WS2812B LEDs which are better for educational projects and compatible with existing WS2812 / NeoPixel libraries.
