The Music Box Base:Bit and Neopixel Santa Claus Bundle is the perfect xmas gift. The bundle contains:
75-0149 - Music Box Base:Bit for BBC micro:bit
This clever little unit works as a standalone music box for your micro:bit (not included) or can be used to drive any Neopixel shape. The unit provides battery power, voltage regulation, On/Off switch with indicator and mounting for the micro:bit and up to two Neopixel plugins. There is also a mini speaker with powered driver so you can make music using the music modules in micro:bit programming languages.
75-0150 - Neopixel Santa Claus for Music Box Base:Bit
You may only see him once a year, but he's always welcome. The big fella is designed to plug into one of the two positions on the Music Box Base, and has 10 Neopixels all about him that are all RGB and can be individually programmed. As examples of coding exercises why not try:
Flashing each pixel with random colours
Sweep a single colour from bottom to top
Make the LEDs on his belt and hat flash alternately
Make Santa walk by changing the colours on his legs
