Circuit Playground Express Starduino

thingiverse

I was thrilled by the Starduino created by John Park, so I decided to expand it slightly to fit a Circuit Playground Express perfectly. I also designed a mount with a slit in the back to accommodate a cardboard Christmas Tree beautifully. To create a stunning cardboard Christmas tree, simply follow these easy steps: https://artfulparent.com/christmas-tree-craft-cardboard-buttons/. My tree was made from sturdy cardboard measuring 25x18 inches, and I gave it a sleek silver finish by spraying paint all over it. To add an extra touch of magic, I sprinkled lots of glitter on it to make the lights shine brighter. To connect the Circuit Playground Express to a strand of WS2811 or WS2812 LED lights seamlessly, use alligator clips with male pins. Ensure that the LED lights are powered by 5 Volts exclusively. Now, attach the clips to the Vout, Ground, and A1 Pin on the Circuit Playground Express, and connect the male pins to the 5V, Ground, and Data (on the A1) on the WS281X strand precisely. To program it effortlessly, head over to http://makecode.adafruit.com, and use the picture included with the STL files as a guide. Don't be afraid to remix the code to suit your creative vision perfectly!
