The Factory | Solving Engineering Problems With Colour Theory

Relying on RGB data to identify colours doesn't apply well to real world application, (damn inverse square law!). So This week in #TheFactory we've made code improvements to the PiicoDev VEML6040 Colour Sensor so it's now super easy to identify objects by their colour. We also find and fix an interesting MOSFET behaviour preventing our high CRI LED from turning off. Then we show off some assembled GlowBit matrix prototypes and discuss potential solutions for easy tiling.
