Animated Holiday Door Decorations @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi
We’re loving these festive builds from Steve, an educator and innovator, from Burleson, Texas. The above project features a Raspberry Pi 3 and some Adafruit gear.
Thanks for sharing, Steve!
I wanted to share a couple “Door Decorating Contest” entries I made for myself and my supervisor. We, all 2 of us, run the Burleson ISD Academic Innovation office, handing over 10 extracurricular programs during the school year.
In a show of knowledge, I threw everything I had at our two doors to try to take the top award.
My door features two cascaded open X-rail sliders from ServoCity, which make Frosty grow and melt depending on which button is pushed. I have 52 and 26 RPM motors driving the two elements.
My supervisor’s door features a RasPi3 driving a servo to make Frosty come to life, while a clip from the movie plays over a set of speakers in the ceiling. Frosty’s ligaments are connected by threaded rod and rod ends. The RasPi uses Adafruit components. Additionally, I have an LCD panel and LCD driver in my window showing my status in/out of the building, and below that, a set of Pictures Eyes.

Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
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.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
