The repo is the contents of the file "blinkm_examples.zip" available from https://github.com/todbot/BlinkM-Examples and http://blinkm.thingm.com

It contains several examples of how to talk with BlinkMs. It will be updated periodically as new examples are created. If you have an interesting example you would like added to this example set, contact us!

Note: A more up-to-date and useful BlinkM Arduino library that includes these examples is available at https://github.com/todbot/BlinkM-Arduino

• BlinkMCommunicator

  • A simple serial-to-i2c gateway for PC controlling of BlinkM, like via Processing or BlinkMSequencer

• BlinkMFactoryReset

  • Restore the BlinkM's startup behavior to default

• BlinkMSetStartupScript

  • Change what startup script the BlinkM will play

• BlinkMSensor0

  • Control one parameter of a BlinkM with a single sensor

• BlinkMColorFader

  • Show how to control a BlinkM from Arduino with potentiometers

• BlinkMColorList

  • Write a startup light script with user-definable colors

• BlinkMMulti

  • A simple example showing how to communicate with multiple BlinkMs

• BlinkMScriptWriter

  • A demonstration of how to write BlinkM light scripts with Arduino

• TweetM

  • The code and design docs for TweetM gadget as seen on The Colbert Report live here.

• BlinkMSequencer

  • The drum machine-like application to program a BlinkM from Mac or Windows (needs BlinkMCommunicator installed on an Arduino connected to BlinkM)

• BlinkMScriptTool

  • A tool to let one more easily load/save and read/write BlinkM light scripts (needs BlinkMCommunicator installed on an Arduino connected to BlinkM) Also contains the official version of "BlinkMComm.pde", the Processing BlinkM library.
