FLORA vs GEMMA - Which Board Should I Use?

[@adafruit]

When should you use FLORA and when should you use GEMMA? Funny you should ask, we made a video to answer exactly that question: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHi5c4Vqd9x8htU #WearableWednesday #WearableTech #Wearable #FLORA #GEMMA

[@patrickpatrol8]

I just want a tiny LED to put in a necklace pendant that has an on/off and setting switch, that is rechargable via micro USB. Is the gemma ideal or is there something else more ideal?

[@gabrielquesada964]

How many pixel rings can be added and programmed to a Florra board? I am trying to make 2 programmable discs for my yoyo.

[@GSereda]

Hello, I am building a miniature model of time machine from the movie based on HG Wells book. For the flywheel I wanted to use the LED Artist R48 and a PIR motion sensor. Can this be done with a Gemma?

[@Whisker93]

So, if I want two different zones of animation that something delegated within the code or would I need separate boards? If I can use 1 I'd go with the FLORA and Gemma if I needed 2 separate. Thank you 😊

[@KeithFeickert]

Is there an update to this video comparing the FLORA v3 with GEMMA M0? A 5 year old video is starting to show its age is all. Thank you! :)

[@hondaromio]

How to add the 144led strip cut down to size instead of the 60ld strip with bigger gaps on the firewalk sketch using Gemma? Thank adafruit, keep up the amazing work!

[@XxXxtaniaxXxX]

although you have mentioned flora is better for a GPS project, is it possible to use gemma? i am working on developing a minimal wearable product so the size of gemma seems ideal. and would it be possible to incorporate a bluetooth module to gemma? if not then is there an additional component i could attach to make the bluetooth connection, yet still be able to maintain a minimal appearance? or would it be bulky? thanks in advance!

[@harryrichardson9876]

Is it possible to toggle different programs within either of these? e.g. I have 2 completely different modes for patterns and would like to manually switch between each.

[@iansberg850]

which would be best if i am trying to install a tilt switch and audio playback? (think snowglobe that plays a sound when flipped)

[@DiepPlaysMC]

Hey Adafruit! I don't know what board to use for my locker project. This year I am going to put a bunch of cool LEDs and such inside my locker and will be turned on by opening my locker. Which board such I use?

[@deldarel]

+TheLittle NerdThatCould if it's just leds, you basically never have to look further than the GEMMA, however, I think your project can also very much work without any board. Place a press switch that's placed behind the door so that it is pressed when the door presses against it. This closes the circuit and turns the LEDs on. If you wanna make variable colours with RGB LEDs, then GEMMA is still the way to go.

[@MultiTechrevolution]

hey, could you help me with a list of components needed to create a vest for cyclists that signals left or right when turning? i need bluetooth... would gema still work? besides that, can you help me create kit tool box with all the necessaries ?

[@karimnasser3571]

Hi, I'm looking for Amonia, humidity and temperature sensor that can be used in chicken warehouse or coops? Thanks Kay

[@Celticsfan969]

Hello! I'd like to use a vibration sensor switch to trigger a monocrome OLED graphic display. I'm thinking flora would be able to handle this right?

[@LeftyLlama]

Can the Gemma use the Flora UV sensor?

[@marinehm]

The Ampli-Tie is the bomb! Will this work on the Gemma? With all 16 LEDs, microphone? I just want to make sure before I make the purchase.

[@chentegarcia8670]

1st time user of any of these cool little boards. im using the gemma board with a 12pixel led ring and i keep getting this code HELP please... avrdude: Error could not find USBtiny device (0x1781/0xc9f)

[@leariley9121]

when will you have more flora? I'd like to order a lot but it's been out of stock and I have to order on Amazon. also the budget packs and starter packs are out if stock :|

[@franklingreen3100]

Is it possible to connect a usb webcam to either FLORA or GEMMA?

[@Bhingise]

Thanks for the video. Can I use Gemma to sensor Temperature and Humidity? If so, what components I would need?

[@abmviper]

Re-posting on this video in hopes of assistance. Thanks and sorry for the repetition. I love your ideas and suggestions. I've been making my costumes light up for year, but after finding you I my hobby might be expanding. I have a couple questions I could use some help with if you could. I apologize to place them in a comments inosection (I couldn't find a good contact on your site to ask). I'm wanting to light up my costumes for Halloween, and since I only just found about you and your products I'm not quite up to speed on what I need and fear that if I had to start from scratch alone that I wouldn't make it in time. :( That being said... I'm looking at your Neopixels, individually and in the strips to light my costumes. My hang up is what to run them with. From what I can tell they can be run by the Gemma, Flora, or the Arduino, though I don't know the difference and such. I don't know which I need. I would like the lights to be able to do some effects and go together possibly react to sound. I'm unsure till I receive it exactly how much I'll use, but best guess is 1-4 meters, in either 2-4 different segments on my costume. If you could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it, along with any best recommendations on how to power it. I'm also wanting to do the light up martices boards for eyes on a costume accessory with a sound driver to make a light inside give the appearance of speaking, or as alternative to the eyes use alternating sections of el wire to give the appearance of blinking. I appreciate any help, apologize for asking so much. Thanks in advance and I love your stuff and wishing I was in NY to jsut come and peruse in person.

+abmviper Hi! We talked about your question on our live wearables show! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYCTl6FrmbNleckm19s

[@TheYohoo7]

How do you get the Flora in the board manager menu in tools? AVR 1.6.9 and Flora drivers are installed, but the Flora Board still wont appear. Any any suggestion?

[@adafruit]

+Victor EE This is a perfect question for the forums! Post up there and our dedicated engineers will be happy to help. forums.adafruit.com/viewforum.php?f=51

[@jariravensbergen2995]

is the arduino gemma able to control servo's?

[@luizdefrancaafonsoferreira5799]

Can i use any kind of cam with FLORA?

[@sriramsrinivasan7216]

I wanna make bluetooth notification ring which om can i choose

[@laurenemerson6065]

Did you find the answer for this?

[@anthonyvolkman2338]

how different is this from the arduino mega 2560?

[@DeadlyMongoose1]

i was trying to modify my order but your site wouldnt let me, i tried to cancel my order and your site still didnt let me, whats the point in those options if i cant use them

[@adafruit]

any trouble with your order please contact [e-mail], most issues are addressed right away!

[@florianpetri1642]

Hey Becky, Hey Team, Very nice videos, good Job! We want tu build a wearable that is very lightweight and it only needs two features: - bluetooth and - a solid mechanical Button. The Battery should either changeable or fix implemented. Which one should i use? Best Regards

[@danielpspersonal]

Hey, I want to do a cosplay and use the Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip 144 LED. I will need to use a LOT of LEDs, so maybe 2 of those strips. So I need to be able to power everything and control the color and animations with buttons or a pressure sensor in my hand (or both). Also its my first time using arduino altough I've seen a LOT of tutorials already. is the flora good enough for this? or should I use something like LEO? and how to power 2 strips of LEDs? thank you for any help, since I have only 2 months to make everything from zero.

[@MatheusLegenda]

Wicked helpful. Thank you, Becky!!!!

[@adel1986]

can i use Flora sensors on Lilypad and vise-versa?

[@algarrefardi3560]

adel ashnaei I thinks yes just search on google or finds some forums

[@jadeotter3328]

This would go great with the super safer LCB batteries Especially the one that is kind of foldable

[@fisslewine1222]

Hi I'm looking to do a wearable technology project and just heard about flora!...are there body metric sensors and small displays that can be used with Flora...and can I link flora to my android phone via blue tooth an an app?

[@EPenguin82]

Rather than commenting out the Serial statements, wouldn't a preprocessor directive work better? #if defined(__AVR_ATmega32U4__) Serial.out("Hello");

[@electrodog10]

Great video

[@DaleBasye]

You are a winner GREAT IDEA

[@inyangBuilds]

who knows if i can use this device with an arduino??

[@serafincastilla]

you cuold use one of them instead of using an arduino depending on your needs

[@kevinlutzer1616]

Doesn't the ATMEGA328U4 have 32 K of flash?

[@adafruit]

Kevin Lutzer The 328 is different from the 32u4!

[@ge200099]

Ohhh, Arduino Gemma seems to be an interesting name... lets look it up!.......... Eeek its by Adafruit!

[@ElectroIoT]

Great

[@arnabpiku2000]

i think arduino pro mini is the best for wearables B-)

[@jadeotter3328]

🤔🤨😑
