Re: [micro-manager-general] Micro-manager and arduino

Hi -- If like me you don't want to learn how to write and compile a new
device adapter, the Arduino shutter adapter has a few outputs and inputs
that you may not need. You can modify the Arduino sketch and your circuit
to use these for other purposes. For example, we used some to control the
color and brightness of a neopixel LED ring -
https://github.com/zach-hensel/lasers-and-brightfield - it's a bit of a
hack obviously but it sounds like something like this might work for your
application.

Cheers,
Zach
