NEW GUIDE: Archimedes’ Boat using CPX and MakeCode #CircuitPlaygroundExpress #MakeCode @adafruit

This NEW GUIDE shows how to create a a boat powered by two Archimedean screws controlled by a Circuit Playground Express, Adafruit’s powerful and highly adaptable programming platform.

This ultra-low cost DIY boat uses easily available household materials and serves as a great introduction to basic engineering concept as well as demonstrating how to use MakeCode, a web-based code editor similar to Scratch or Code.org.

A one-quart milk carton is the perfect size for a boat that will easily contain all the electronics you want to add while still a convenient size for playing in a bathtub.

A great way to dip one’s toes into coding!
