Meet GEMMA, Adafruit's new super tiny wearable electronics platform. We'll be bringing you
lots of projects with this bitty board, and for starters, we thought we'd show it off
in the center of a NeoPixel ring, perfect as a pendant or a pair of earrings.
The wiring couldn't be simpler. Place Gemma in the center of the ring and solder connections
to power, ground, and signal.
Program over USB with the Arduino IDE to create any animation you like.
Use a little clear thread to keep Gemma in position at the center of the ring, and attach
an earwire or pendant hanger with a jump ring to the NeoPixel ring's output pin.
Plugging in the battery turns it on, and our tiny rechargable lipo can stick to the back
with double stick tape.
Weighing in at __ grams, they're lighter than a lot of the big earrings in my jewelry box.
So follow along at the Adafruit Learning System to build your own earrings or pendant, and
show off your creations on our weekly show and tell on Google+. Subscribe to the Adafruit
channel on YouTube, and don't miss our weekly live show all about wearable electronics,
with me, Becky Stern.
