from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries

Make a simple drawing slate that's anything but ordinary. This tutorial shows you how to use a piece of edge-lit acrylic plastic with NeoPixels driven by the Adafruit Mini Sparkle Motion and running WLED to make a glowing re-usable coloring board or sign that can animate and attract lots of attention! This is a great beginner project. Practice your soldering skills or use the Mini Sparkle Motion's screw terminal port to connect your lights. Load the WLED software in minutes and bring your drawings to life with endless LED animation patterns, colors, and effects.
