Please note, this is a shield and requires an Arduino for control. Comes with library and example code to get you started programming Lots of LEDs right away!

The LoL shield is available with Red LED’s or Green LED’s.

    This is Kevin the Ever-Helpful Maker Shed roustabout sporting his custom, one-of-a-kind Maker Faire badge that has been blinged to the max with one of Jimmie’s Lol-shields. These shields are amazing! We hand crafted this piece on a whirlwind tour of the Noisebridfge hackerspace. Kevin’s countenance reflects the fact that after working a 14 hour day in the Maker Shed, we then commandeered the hotel shuttle bus and drove the 55 miles there and back from Noisebridge. This photo was taken about 2am on Sunday on the return trip. Kevin was back on duty early Sunday morning with a smile on his face and a song in his heart, showing off his new badge, which by my count had 129 LEDs (Lol-Shield + 3 color Maker Shed Soldering Merit Badge).

The Maker Shed is brought to you by Maker Media, the makers of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Faire, and much more.

Launched originally as a source for back issues of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Shed expanded rapidly to meet the demand for 'projects in a box,' otherwise known as kits. Now we have a little bit of everything for makers, crafters, and budding scientists, from Arduinos to sock monkeys to chemistry sets .
