$59.00 Sale

Explore the beautiful mathematics of Fibonacci numbers, spirals, and sunflowers. Configure the Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040 microcontroller module for use with CircuitPython. Experiment with CircuitPython programming to implement NeoPixel animations and touch pad controls on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller. Assemble the RGB LED Fibonacci Spiral Kit using 64 through-hole NeoPixel RGB LEDs. Practice a step-wise approach to PCB assembly using through-hole soldering. Consider modification of the Spiral LED module into a wearable badge. Assemble the Cyber Voice Recorder kit from Cyber City Circuits. Get inspired to (re)watch Darren Aronofsky's 1998 film Pi.
