This week Andrew Arace shared his cozy Beach/Concert Blanket (with sewn in flickering LEDs!) in our community.
Outdoor blanket from Target
Adafruit GEMMA v2
4 Adafruit Neopixels
Li-po battery

4-wire 24awg spool from nearby going-out-of-business RadioShack

Featured Community Project from the Adafruit Blog
This week on the blog we shared Frederick Vandenbosch’s build for his awesome magic lamp project
The idea for this little project is to have a lamp which can be turned on or off simply by moving it on a desk.
A wireless charging base is built into the desk’s surface, and a circuit with microcontroller and LEDs gets powered wirelessly using the charging coil.
