Featured Community Project from the Adafruit Blog

Jeremy shared his great music box project at hackaday.io that has been making the rounds in the Adafruit community this week. (We’re huge fans of cnc/stepper music – and here’s a sample of Erik Satie’s “hard as hell to perform” 23-hour Vexations performed by a CupCake CNC.)
