Built with a Particle Photon and STL files available online, this little statue with a glowing shark atop it tells people if your calendar is free, busy, or even about to be busy. Heads up: schedule is called from Microsoft Office Outlook’s VFB file format.
My work schedule can get pretty crazy! Really crazy… I thought it might be cool to come up with a way to communicate to that to folks I work with.
I built a little wifi connected RGB LED that will display whether I’m busy, free or about to be busy inside of a 3d printed case. I’ve got all of the 3d files and code here available for download.
Particle Photon with Headers: The Photon is a $19 tiny Wi-Fi development kit for creating connected projects and products for the Internet of Things. It’s easy to use, it’s powerful, and it’s connected to the cloud. Read more.

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.
