Artist Alex George started collecting miniature Disneyland Main Street Electrical Parade floats a couple years ago. He then got the idea to take the miniatures, and bring them to life. He used a whole army of BlinkM’s, some amazing CAD work, a new recreation of Disneyland’s main street, and help from what looks to be a homemade CNC machine.
Anyway, the video is really well done, and the final product is worthy as Disneyland attraction on its own.
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, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, 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.
Wow. Awesome project, George!!!
