4 of 5 gems edited

Order 5 gems per project. One had a broken power switch, rendering Gemma useless. :(4 out of 5 is ok but I was a bit confused with my project. I soldered it before realizing it - see pic.

Cons
  • old

It would be nice to be able to charge the battery via USB

I have used many for Christmas decoration. It would be nice if USB charged the battery. My wives can't handle unplugging the battery cable and plugging it into a USB based charger.

Cons
  • Big and bulky

Light up any jacket, shirt, bag, etc. with Gemma!

Great item for making your own wearables! I ordered this to make the Space Invaders Adafruit LED pendant featured on their website, but I'm still waiting on a few other parts before I can get started. It was a V2 with an on/off switch and a microUSB port in case you were wondering. I filed the edge a bit to remove the excess where it was tapped from the PCB sheet. Check out Gemma V2 on the Adafruit Industries website for full setup details. You need to add the Adafruits boards to the Arduino…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • May cause injury
