A model lighthouse using an Adafruit NeoPixel ring
Wonderful project and write-up from Jeremy Lindsay up on Hackster.io.
I had a little time last Saturday afternoon, and I decided to build a model of a lighthouse for my baby daughter’s play area. And rather than just 3d printing a model, I decided to make it a bit more engaging – I’ve been playing with Adafruit Neopixel rings recently, and thought that they’d be really good to make a working lantern part of the lighthouse, without needing any to construct any moving parts.

Sweet. Been waiting for a project like this for a while. Just haven’t had time yet to fully come up to dedicate yet.
