Kit of parts

Below is listing of parts included in the kit sold on Tindie.

Kit of parts

  1. Itsy Bitsy M4 microcontroller, pre-programmed (not shown).

  2. Custom-made POV controller for ItsyBitsy, containing Inertial Motion Unit, battery charge circuit, and more.

  3. Two Power Distribution Boards (PDB). Note: the PDB exists in two variants, PDB-A and PDB-B. Choose the variant that matches the order of signals on your LED strip (see below)

Power Distribution Board variants

As mentioned above, there are two variants of the kit which contain different Power Distribution Boards: PDB-A and PDB-B. The correct option for you depends on the order of signals on your LED strips; unfortunately, there is no standard order.

Place the strip horizontally so that the signal travels from left to right.

  • If the top signal is Ground (usually labeled G) and bottom signal is 5V, then you need variant A.
