STEAMPunk Goggles using Circuit Playground

Post by edutechcricket »

Hi there -
I have a student making the STEAM-Punk Goggles (https://learn.adafruit.com/steam-punk-g ... ementation) and we were wondering if there's a way to use a Circuit Playground Express rather than a Flora and the extra accelerometer? We're assuming the code will be different somehow, that we can't just push out the code for the Flora... Any direction would be appreciated!

Since the motion sensors are different the code would need to be adapted to run on the CPX using the LIS3DH. It's a good project if you want to take that on.

You could also use CircuitPython or MakeCode and follow the Make It Shake, Rattle and Roll examples as a starting point with the CPX.

Thanks, we'll give MakeCode a shot and let you know how we do. :)
