NEW GUIDE: John Park’s Stop Motion Animation Basics @adafruit @johnedgarpark #adafruit
Stop motion animation is lots of fun to watch, and maybe even more fun to make! Using a tablet or smartphone with free software, it’s very easy to make your own stop motion films.
This new guide in the Learn System covers the basics to get you started, and includes resources and links for more information for further learning.
Since Halloween is a terrific subject for stop motion animation (go watch The Nightmare Before Christmas if you’ve never seen it!) we’ll create a Halloween-themed shot using our beloved Adafruit characters!
Plus, a look at more dynamic full-body posing with articulated puppets and armatures.
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.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell with Google Hangouts On-Air is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
