Gemma Hoop Animator
I finally managed to document the Gemma Hoop Animator code I showd off on this episode of S&T and uploaded it to GitHub.
Look into the source and header files or detailed explaination on how to use the animator.
What I forgot to mention on the S&T is, that I modified the LiPo by soldering a tiny SMD switch into the positive lead and gunking it to the LiPo, as I didn't want to disconnect this rather fragile connector everytime (see attached pictures).
I wish, the Gemma and all other boards of this kind would have such an on/off switch
Here's a video showing the example animation together with the individual action definitions.
If you find this example sketch helpful enjoy it and have fun creating your own animations!
Regards
Axel

I love this and want to get it working on my gemma! It's wonderful.
I'm using a mac and have (I think) successfully installed the GemmaHoopAnimator code. However, I can't get it to compile and upload to my gemma.
I can go into AdafruitArduno and open the Gemma Hoop Animator sketch. The GemmaHoopActionsList.h and GemmaHoopDefs.h also open up in tabs in the window.
When I try to upload GemmaHoopAnimator I get:
I haven't made any changes to the code at all. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!
