So you’ve received your AdaBox 004 and you’re probably wondering what a plain white box is doing in there. While you’re not limited to this box, it is housing for your new music player!
A project which we have featured on the AdaBox 004 guide is the WiFi Music Alert Box, which shows you how to assemble your box and install your speaker.
We encourage you to bust out those art and crafts skills and decorate your speaker box, then share on Instagram and Twitter with the hashtag #AdaBox!
Use ANYTHING your little DIY heart desires – even things that came with your AdaBox!
Here is one that was decorated with Adafruit’s tissue paper:

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.
