LifeTime Displays Months Lived in a 90 Year Lifetime
While I’m not motivated by counting down how many months I could have left, I certainly know a few folks who would proudly recreate and display rabbitcreek’s LifeTime tracker on Instructables:
The lifeTime provides you with an electronic version of this coda. It is an animated grid of tiny Neopixels stacked up into the months you will live over the course of 90 years. It requires that you input the owners birthday. On regular intervals the tablets open to reveal an animated display of how much time you have left. Otherwise it sleeps and provides you with background illumination that varies with the time of day and inspiration to think about life instead of death

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.
