Circuit Playground digital fidget spinner with Tony D!: A New video by Adafruit Industries
Circuit Playground digital fidget spinner with Tony D!
Live stream to http://ift.tt/1RCEQ5c showing a digital fidget spinner built with Adafruit’s Circuit Playground classic and express boards. This fidget spinner has no moving parts and uses an accelerometer to detect flicks and animates the spinner motion around 10 NeoPixels on the board. You can press buttons to change the color and type of spinner animation too! The video walks through how to run the fidget spinner on a board and how the code and algorithm works. This version of the spinner uses Arduino and the Arduino programming languge, but stay tuned for a future version using CircuitPython and Circuit Playground Express!
