We worked with Acadia National Park to develop exhibit interactives for the Nature Center.

We worked with the Carlsbad Museum and Art Center and their museum volunteers on the “Little Carlsbad” model train exhibit. This project involves adding user-controlled vignettes throughout the installation.

The Port Extender board was designed for use with the dedicated I2C port, Port D on the Main Shield and intended for projects that need to control more input and output devices. The Port Extender is equipped with two MCP23017 i2c 16-bit i/o digital port expanders, a CD74HC4067 16-channel multiplexer, and a CD74HC4051 8-channel multiplexer. I2C […]
