Having created a previous project called Orbital Sound, the thought came to mind as to whether I could bring it more up to date and include lighting in addition to sound. This would entail electronics and some form of sensor and control. The solution presented itself in the form of a Circuit Playground* microcontroller. This ticked a number of boxes for preinstalled elements, sounder, Neopixels (arranged in a circular pattern), and accelerometer with a small footprint and bolt compatible electrical connections which would come in handy as part of the assembly. Battery operation also being a bonus. The original version was a fixed form whereas this updated version would enable different sounds and lighting schemes to be employed enabling a variety of variations. All this would be encapsulated within a 3D printed body.
