Cosplayer JinxKittie got ambitious when she built her League of Legends DJ Sona costume. She didn’t just put together the bodysuit, helmet, and visor, she made Sona’s entire mixing board complete with LEDs and music. Besides the complication of the build, I can’t imagine how challenging it had to be to transport the board to the convention. It’s only her third ever cosplay, so it was extra bold of her to go so big.
She made the board from black foam, acrylic, LEDs, and what appears to be air dry clay. The finished board weighed approximately eight pounds, and JinxKittie put it on wheels so she could easily maneuver around the convention floor. You can get a closer look and see how the lights function in this video:
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.
