New Guide: Paper Mache Dragon Wall Sconce with Lights #adafruit @adafruit

led neopixel dragon

New from Erin St. Blaine on the Adafruit Learning System: Add animated lights to your fantasy artwork with NeoPixels and Circuit Playground.

This guide will detail how I added lights to a hand-made paper mache dragon. The same techniques will work any sculpted or paper-crafted hollow beastie, dragon, unicorn, or monster. You could also add lights to a pre-made halloween mask or decoration. Circuit Playground makes it easy to bring all your monster friends to life.

This guide uses a Circuit Playground Express and MakeCode to create fire effects that can be placed inside a sculpture or paper crafted dragon. Check out the full tutorial here: https://learn.adafruit.com/light-up-paper-dragon-wall-sconce/overview

We can’t wait to see what you create with NeoPixels!
