Creating 3D Printed Memory Stick Cases
This resource has been designed to show how you can use our uncased memory stick modules as the basis for a 3D printing project. A memory stick is a great place to start when learning how to use 3D Printers and CAD software. This is because they are small in size, meaning they are quick to print (when compared to larger designs), but can still offer a wide range of learning and design experiences.
Igloo Tutorial 2: Momentary Switch
This tutorial demonstrates how to use the Igloo’s on-board push button switch as a momentary switch to turn the on-board LED on and off. The LED will come on while the button is held down and turn off when the button is released.
