Learn Guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-sprite-animation-pendant-mario-clouds-flying-toasters/ In this project we’re making retro inspired wearables! The pendant features an IPS display with animated graphics. It uses Adafruit’s CircuitPython to create animated sprites that look like flying toasters and scrolling clouds. We originally did these two as Pro Trinket projects, with a monochrome OLED for the toasters, and a color OLED for the clouds. To keep up with modern times, and the new high visibility IPS displays, we've upgraded both projects here to use CircuitPython instead of Arduino for easier customization. The displays also look a lot better, but the price and construction is about the same!

Every week, the team at Adafruit Industries dives into the tangible world of creation with their 3D Printing Projects podcast. Hosts Noe Ruiz and Pedro Ruiz guide you through the entire process of bringing a new idea to life, from initial concept in CAD software to the final, functional print. This isn't just theory; it's a hands-on audio workshop where you'll hear the details behind designing and fabricating practical items like custom electronic enclosures, detailed cosplay components, and clever camera modifications. The discussion focuses on the intersection of digital design and DIY electronics, offering clear explanations and project-specific insights that are valuable for both beginners and experienced makers. By listening, you gain a deeper understanding of how to integrate 3D printing into your own work, learning about material choices, design considerations, and troubleshooting along the way. The consistent weekly format means there's always a fresh, detailed project to explore, making this podcast a reliable source of inspiration and technical knowledge for anyone interested in the expanding possibilities of desktop manufacturing.
