 Hey what's up folks, in this project we're making a party pair Zodetrope. A Zodetrope is an animation display that gives the illusion of motion by displaying a sequence of frames that progress over time. We were inspired to design a Zodetrope with 3D printed parts and edge lit acrylic. It's powered by the Adafruit Cricket and the Feather M4 running circuit Python. It uses a DC motor and a photo interrupter to trigger a neopixel whenever the sensor detects a break. Each acrylic panel is slotted into the top cover and cycles through different colors in a list. There's 10 panels and each one has an engraving of a single frame for the party pair animation. The T-slot photo interrupter is mounted to the side of the enclosure and the neopixel is mounted on the other end right below the acrylic. Each time the sensor detects a break, the neopixel changes color. There's an encoder ring on the top cover that has notches and passes through the sensor. In motion, the top cover spins freely like a carousel and keeps the acrylic panels in place. The DC motor has a gear that engages an internal gear in the center opening of the top cover. With circuit Python, you can easily make projects with motors, neopixels, and sensors. In the code, a list of colors are set up as each frame of the party pair animation. The loop begins by starting the motor and whenever the sensor detects a break, the neopixel color is updated to the next color in the array.
