Create custom holiday decorations with this compact 6cm DIY ornament kit, designed specifically for Circuit Playground microcontrollers.

Description

Have you put up with mainstream, uninspiring, low-tech tree ornaments for too long? This season, why not deck the halls with codes of holly? This DIY Ornament Kit is just the right size (6 cm diameter) for a Circuit Playground Express, 500mAh LiPoly battery, and however you’d like to dress up your ornament! Your local hobby shop fluff puff balls and other materials will diffuse those on-board LEDs nicely.

Features and Use:

• Clear ornament ball is perfect for showcasing your electronics.
• Compatible with Circuit Playground Express.
• Onboard NeoPixels visible through the ornament.
• Onboard sound, light, and temperature sensors work well inside the ball.
• Capacitive touch can be created using conductive tape attached to the inner surface.
• Microphone and speaker function but are a little quieter inside the ball.
• Try using the accelerometer to detect shaking to interact with your ornament since buttons are not easily pressed.

Note: This kit does not include the Circuit Playground Express, 500mAh battery, or LiPoly charger, which should be purchased separately.
