Can I use a LumiDrive to integrate LuMini LED rings with a Buzzer to make a game?

I recently purchased 3 LuMini LED Rings (1", 2" and 3") with a LumiDrive LED Driver. I would like to integrate them with a LillyPad Vibe Board and a LillPad Buzzer, which I also purchased. My question is this; will I be able to write (or get written) some code to run on the LumiDrive to integrate the LED rings, the Buzzer and the Vibe to make a buzzer game or do I need a more complex / expensive piece of equipment to control it? Similarly, could I integrate a SparkFun rotary switch to enable, say, three different levels in the game? I’ll be asking somebody else to write the python code as the extent of my coding is limited to Scratch! I would really appreciate any help, support or advise you could offer. Thanks v much, Mark

Possible? Yes, you might need some additional hardware to make it work but the dirty details are going to be in the code that you will need to write.

Might be easier to use an Arduino Uno rather than the lumidrive, there’s plenty of example code out there for the Uno + buzzers, vibe motors and LED rings.

Thanks very much YellowDog. For a WannabeTechie like me could you, please, point me in the direction of even one place where I might first look to find such code? Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark.

I’m afraid I don’t know of any example code for your particular use case. You might check sparkfun’s hookup guide, but you’re probably going to need to create most of the code on your own.
