Cosplayer Kitsune Raposa took to Reddit to share a side by side of her cosplay of the League of Legends character Lux with her Star Guardian skin and a shot of the character. I’m always into seeing these kind of comparisons. Kitsune’s build is pretty spot on, including how she used LEDs to make the star portion of the wand glow. She made the prop from fiberglass. She says:
I used fiberglass! It’s really rough and don’t break easily. Also the wand is divided in two. For the star we make with resin, to be transparent. It has leds on both sides ^ The cable is made from pvc pipe!
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.
