Full tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/chinese-dragon-puppet-with-motion-reactive-flame-effect/overviewMake a Chinese Dragon puppet with a dramatic flame LED effect. The lights are motion-reactive so he lights up when you shake him. This project uses an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express with a built-in motion sensor and NeoPixel LED lights. The code is written in Microsoft MakeCode, an easy-to-use drag and drop code editor. (Or maybe in this case, a dragon-drop code editor.)This is an easy beginner-level project that involves a little bit of soldering. You can download our code sample, or learn to make your own flame effects. This is a fantastic project to do with kids.Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.comErin St Blaine: http://www.erinstblaine.com-----------------------------------------LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discordAdafruit on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adafruitSubscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribeNew tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/-----------------------------------------
