Chad’s ‘Cheap Gadgets Theme For May picked by our loyal Patreons is ‘Cheap Gadgets You Can Hack!”
These theme won by a wide margin. Who knew our audience was so tech-minded! I like LED’s and to me hanging up a strip on the wall and plugging them in is being techie. But Chad, he had to find a way to make EACH led bulb addressible!
I was fairly lost with this project, but I must admit, it was pretty awesome what Chad was able to do. He seemed he did actually make his LED’s obey his every command.
Watch this week’s episode and then if you want to duplicate what Chad did, here’s a list of everything he used!
