A new guide today in the Adafruit Learning System: Twin Peaks Light Reactive Picture Frame

As you probably know by now, the Adafruit PyPortal has quite a few built-in hardware features. In this project, we’re going to take advantage of the light sensor, which allows you to have a built-in, light sensitive analog input. We’re going to use that light sensor to change between two pictures on the PyPortal. If there isn’t enough light hitting the sensor, then the picture will change and play an audio file; otherwise the original picture will remain displayed.

This particular instance of this project concept is based on the cult classic TV series Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks is about the mythical town of Twin Peaks in Washington State and the many mysterious, creepy and bizarre happenings there that all seem to center around Laura Palmer.
