Gemma Input Options

Post by drumminhands »

I'm trying to work on a teaching project where students use a Gemma and NeoPixels 12 ring. Got that working no problem. But I'd like to add in some sort of input. I bought a Flora Lux Sensor, but I don't think there are enough pins to make that work.

Please let me know if I'm wrong. But if the Lux Sensor will not work with Gemma, what other options do I have for input? Accelerometer? Buttons? Ideally something that does not cost more than $8 each. Any recommendations?

Thanks.

I found these three. Might they work? How sensitive is the vibration sensor (would it work if someone spun around or danced or shook?)
