Can you plug in more than 1 I was thinking of using these as they eyes

After you set the unique addresses, you can still address both of them using the address 0x00. That would be useful when using them as eyes.
From the datasheet: 3.1.1 I2C Addresses The default BlinkM address is 0x09. It can be changed at any time with the "Set Address"("A") command described below. BlinkM responds to both its defined I2C address and the "general call" broadcast address (0x00).
Building on Rich's code it would be:
Oh yeah when I was tinkering around with them using the built in pulsing of brightness and color they do fall out of sync. If I remember correctly there was a way to one to be the master timer. It's late here and I need sleep. Rich, can you find and post the correct code for it?
That's great to know. I'm looking at possibly getting a BlinkM to just play around with if not fit in Melvin's brain.
One more hint, the I2C codes are case sensitive, i.e. I2CWrite(0,0x09,A,0x0a) would be different to I2CWrite(0,0x09,a,0x0a). Pre-empting a few questions and problems
Bringing an old one back to life a little but I just got my BlinkM delivered today (massive thanks to ThingM)
BlinkM Example Script - The good news is my first assumptions were correct and all previous scripts and posts I made are 100% accurate
Expect to see this in Melvin's head soon... until then, I have a video which I will pop up later.
They are pretty cool and they have sequences built in so EZ-B doesn't have to waste processing on doing it.
Yeah that's next on the todo list once I finish sorting out all my PCs with the new ARC and messing around with the library... Not that I will use sequences on Melvin but still would be good to know how to do them
