Circuit Python Christmas Ornament/Globe
I made a Christmas ornament globe using Circuit Python and LED strip. I put the CPB under the globe and wrapped the LED strip around the bottom of the globe. The globe plays Jingle Bells when its still and the CPB lights up green while the LED trip is red. When the globe is shared, CPB starts playing All I want For Christmas and the CPB and LED strip sparkle green and red.
