Pure radiance or how to use a Fork to light an LED
In this article, we will show Fork's abilities when working with LEDs. Thank you Anirudha Gaikwad(_ro.box_) for creating an interesting project
Here's how you can quickly set-up your Fork in 1 minute.
Fork is a test fixture device developed by @forktestlab,
It can be used as a node between your test devices and user providing a simple and reliable approach that doesn't necessarily require any programming.
You can toggle Digital pins, get analog data and everything else Directly over Ethernet or Wifi.

Second video demonstrates how you can program "Fork" over Ethernet and run a simple blink code written in python using the Fork-API.
The setup :
Python 3.8, Spyder IDE used,
Fork connected to Internet via Ethernet cable.
Pin DO-zero pulled up, and toggled every second.

What if you have a relay, a very bright light display, and a fork? Learn from Morse code! Moreover, this project can be repeated by you when automating home lighting.
