A few months ago, we posted the music video for the song “This Too Shall Pass” by the band OK Go. This video features an elaborate “Rube Goldberg” device that interacts with the band and, in effect, becomes part of the composition. Since first appearing on the web the video has gone viral, and folks are wondering how it came to be. Here’s the TED talk by machine creator Adam Sadowsky about the process his team and the band went through to create that awesome video, and the engineering that made it so special.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
