Winning today in the category of costumes I’ve never seen is this duo from Replica Props Forum (RPF) user Mr. Bungle, also known as Tom Cuthbert. He and his wife made replicas of costumes from Tombstone; they dressed as Doc Holliday and Kate. The costumes were made way back in 2011, but there’s no time stamp on creativity. Tom posted a supply list — they paid careful attention to the details. Tom even got Doc’s cup machined in a local shop and found suitable matches for Doc’s Colts. You can read more about materials and sources at The RPF post.
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.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
