3D Hangouts – VU Meter, Party Parrots and Quantum Fractal Stars

This week @adafruit we’re making an audio reactive light bar using NeoPixels and CircuitPython. Prototyping a zoetrope with Adafruit Crickit featuring Party Parrot. The timelapse this week is a fractal star fidget printed using quantum filament from Matterhackers. It’s quite colorful this week!
