Embedded Adventures: hardware ecommerce site built downtown

Embedded Adventures is a downtown-based bootstrapped team giving its customers more ways to hack the real world. It’s like a micro-controller specific ecommerce answer to Radio Shack.

One of their newest products is a line of light strips that gives users complete control over every single light on the entire strip.

Whatever array of colors you want on however many lights you want, that’s all under your control. Think of how crazy your Christmas tree could have been if you had had these lights?

Founded in 2010, the company has four employees, though one of them is in London so that products can be shipped more quickly to customers in Europe. They may be hiring another customer to do technical customer support here, soon.

“Production is mainly in our Brooklyn office. There are some items we design in Brooklyn and manufacture in China. We aim to provide the best quality for less than the competition,” Founder Ian Harris told us. “We are creating a range of products that fit into the Internet of Things space, where everything around us is networked and connected together.”

In an email to Technically Brooklyn, Allison Watters of the startup’s staff told us to look forward to LEDs with larger sized pixels soon.

If you’ve been interested in learning more about programming Arduino devices, the site has written many tutorials to get users started.
