I didn’t have a nice camera that was capable of incremental photos. In the past I have used my iPad mini to do some time lapses but those were just over a couple hours. I want long term like days into weeks. So I decided to use a Raspberry Pi I had laying around and see what I could make with that.
We #celebratephotography here at Adafruit every Saturday. From photographers of all levels to projects you have made or those that inspire you to make, we’re on it! Got a tip? Well, send it in!
If you’re interested in making your own project and need some gear, we’ve got you covered. Be sure to check out our Raspberry Pi accessories and our DIY cameras.
We’re getting major crystal ball vibes from
pollux labs’s project on Hackster.io:
In this project, you use an ESP32 to download current headlines from the Internet and use a sentiment analysis to find out whether they are positive or negative. A NeoPixel LED ring then shows you whether the news situation is good (green), bad (red) or something in between.
We assume that you are familiar with some basics and already know how to program an ESP32 with the Arduino IDE and connect it to the internet. You should also be familiar with the ArduinoJson library and know how to use a NeoPixel LED ring.
We’ve got so much happening here at Adafruit that it’s not always easy to keep up! Don’t fret, we’ve got you covered. Each week we’ll be posting a handy round-up of what we’ve been up to, ranging from learn guides to blog articles, videos, and more.
Are your backyard games of cornhole or horseshoes getting pretty serious? It may be time to build a professional-looking scoreboard!
Use the Matrix Portal and LED matrix display along with Adafruit IO to score a friendly competition between two players or teams! You can use your smart phone’s web browser to adjust the scores in real-time. All coded in CircuitPython.
YouTube Makers EvanAndKatelyn have fun creating this mini arcade. The charger is taken to the next level with a Circuit Playground and some LEDs.
We made a wireless phone charger that looks like a mini arcade and even has a working button! Click the link to download PUBG Mobile for free: http://www.inflcr.co/SH2Bt. Thanks to PUBG Mobile for sponsoring this video!

We recently added native RGB matrix support to CircuitPython for the SAMD51 and nRF52 processor series – now we have added STM support! This makes it super easy to use these inexpensive colorful displays!
Get your Apple Notifications with a Buzz! This project showcases how to use Adafruit Feather Sense nRF52840 and the DRV2605L haptic motor controller to trigger and display lights with Apple Notification Center Service (ANCS).

We are still broadcasting live Wednesday nights for the biggest show and tell in the world at 7pm ET, and we’re still having Ask An Engineer at 8pm ET. We’ll see you there and we’ll provide any updates or information we have as things are changing moment by moment.
Make a Motion Sensitive Cosplay Staff with Lights and Sound Effects! Complete your Wizard or Druid cosplay with a glowing, ever-burning fire staff. This prop is lightweight and sturdy, and made from inexpensive materials. You don’t need much in the way of sculpting ability to create something organic and magical, that looks as though it was cut from the Yggdrasil with an enchanted axe and then imbued with fires from the Mines of Moria before serving the White Witch Jadis for a century or two and then falling into your hands at the end of a rollicking adventure.
Nothing surprising here, just another super cute project from 8bitsandabyte on Hackster.io:
The first step is either buying or making a jacket for your dog to wear, to add the electronics to. In this case we opted to sew our own jacket because we wanted to challenge ourselves a bit, improve our sewing skills and pick an awesome galaxy themed fabric!
Every Wednesday is Wearable Wednesday here at Adafruit! We’re bringing you the blinkiest, most fashionable, innovative, and useful wearables from around the web and in our own original projects featuring our wearable Arduino-compatible platform, FLORA. Be sure to post up your wearables projects in the forums or send us a link and you might be featured here on Wearable Wednesday!
Build your own REZZ inspired glasses with NeoPixels and CircuitPython. 3D print the parts and use the Adafruit ItsyBitsy M4 to make hypnotic NeoPixel animations! Learn how to solder components and get started programming with CircuitPython.
Liz Clark, AKA BlitzCityDIY recently posted a remix of one of our Circuit Playground snap fit cases. Just in time for the holidays, this turns any Circuit Playground into a light-up tree topper. We printed it on our Creality CR-10S using Eryone Silky Gold PLA. A Circuit Playground Bluefruit works well here since we can change up the NeoPixel colors and animations. We wired up a JST slide switch adapter and used a 500mAh battery. The case has a built-in holder for the slide switch so it’s easy to turn it on/off. It also fits nicely on our Christmas tree! If you’d like to build your own, check it out on Thingiverse.
