Ash Williams will return to fight the undead in the upcoming Starz series Ash vs Evil Dead. Bruce Campbell will reprise the role, and he’s back with his trusty boomstick and his chainsaw arm. Cosplayer and maker Roland’s Forge made a replica of the chainsaw about a year ago. He started with an actual chainsaw – a Homelite XL. The model (or a similar one) is readily available from hardware stores, and Roland weathered the chainsaw and repainted it to give it a very Evil Dead look.
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.
