Circuit Playground Bluefruit Board: Bringing Objects to Life (With Python Code)
summary
A round Adafruit Circuit Playground Bluefruit board runs tiny Python code over USB or battery to drive 10 NeoPixels, a speaker and sensors (light, temperature, microphone, accelerometer, capacitive touch) with no soldering. Code lives in a main loop with sleeps for debounce (example uses 0.2s) and is edited in Mu with a serial console. A working music box uses the light sensor to detect opening and accelerometer tap detection to detect knocks; several demo projects (cat feeder, bike brake light) are shown and function.
