Repository of PropShield Sketchs

The Prop Shield is a combination of audio amplifier, LED driver and 10-dof motion sensor with 8MB of flash memory developed and sold by PRJC for their Teensy line of microprocessors. For more information see https://www.pjrc.com/store/prop_shield.html.

This repository is a series of sketches that I used to test the Prop Shield with Motion Sensors. Let me warn you that I did not develop any of the sketches in this library. Most of them were developed by other users on the PRJC forum or are exmaple sketches from a couple of the associated libraries that you can load with Teensyduino.

This readme will document these sketches and my notes in learning a little about the audio and LED capabilities of the Prop Shield.

To help me get through the examples and explainings things to me I posted of the PRJC forum and @manitou really helped me. Here is a link to that discussion: https://forum.pjrc.com/threads/45015-Can-not-get-PropShield-to-Play-MP3-s-with-MP3Player
