Friend of Adafruit and Anamanaguchi bassist James DeVito has made this spinning sun installation as part of Degen‘s New York fashion week beachy presentation.
“The Degen Sun Spinner uses 3D printed ABS fittings to attach large cardboard sun cutouts to the shaft of a 12V motor. Parts were designed in Rhinoceros and printed on a Printrbot Simple Metal with heated bed mod. An Adafruit Motorshield was used to drive the motors and spin them in opposite directions.”
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.
