Modded Mho & Ruby, the Electronic Plush
Awww, You make me blush. Wouldn’t it be cool to animate your Adafruit Circuit Playground electronic component plushie? I have Ruby the Red LED plushie. I wanted it to light up and have it respond to sound. Here is an easy mod to get that done. Sorry, no lasers this time.
Probably wouldn’t really be considered old-school soft circuits but probably more of a hybrid, electronics in a softshell case. I still have a bobbin of conductive thread I need to do something with. Note that this was a first attempt in trying to do a mod with stuff I had on hand but I will offer suggestions on what you should do to get a more satisfactory result.
Ruby’s partner in crime Mho the Resistor plushie has been modded as an analog resistor value decoder.

I’m so happy to see these plushies get some life via electronics tinkering! That’s the spirit!!
