MakerCamp was a month long camp where makers, designers and mentors from different parts of the world and with varying skill sets came together to work on projects they wanted to dive deeper into. The group of participants flew in from all over the globe last month (August) to hack, make, teach, work together, and document their making process. In the end they came away with a global community of support for prototypes that can be kick-started into real life projects. As SparkFun was a partner in the camp, we wanted to showcase some of the awesome people and projects from the camp last month.

We’ve probably used the word “maker” more times in the last year than we have in the last ten years. It’s pretty evident that making is blowing up. Makerspaces have made their way into blogs on education, hackerspaces are being featured in The New York Times, and a White House Maker Faire was held in lieu of the annual White House Science Fair this year. I think it’s fair to say making is so hot right now.

That's true, the blue LEDs would ideally have a resistor closer to 4x than 2x when jumping from 3.3V to 5V. I don't remember my original…

Thanks for your reply! Your "roughly double" resistances for 5V vs 3.3V imply that the difference between LED drop and 3,3V is same as 3,3V…

Your right, that would be a great way to fine tune the current for LEDs! You're also correct that the goal of this project was finding the…

Hi there! For the sake of brevity, I didn't go into full detail about how exactly I calculated the 5V resistor values. But in short, I took…

Nice initiative Dryw! But there's something a bit off in the "5V resistor value" calculations, supposedly using Ohm's law. The forward…
