How-To Hardware

There’s not much you can do to make interesting effects without hardware. You need things which can light up, move, etc. LCPF provides a way to describe what hardware you are using, to make it available fore your effects.

Shields

Shields are boards which “stack” on your controller. They are typically accessed through a factory. For example, to add a TerrainTronic Caernarfon Castle shield, you can use the TerrainTronics factory:

caernarfon = main.TerrainTronics.addCaernarfon( neoPixelCount=45 )

Currently, the LCPF supports D1 Mini style shields, but that may expand in the future. Possible additions include

StemmqQT / Qwiic

The StemmaQT /Qwiic  system for I2C offers a wide variety of devices which can be quite useful for effects. See supported devices for information on devices you can use in your project.
