Last year while making popcorn and cranberry chains the only thing missing from the tree was a star. One was made posthaste. However, it was missing a very important feature, lighting up. We couldn’t let that happen two years in a row so this year we added a color changing light to our homemade star.

The hardware is a Trinket and single Flora NeoPixel both from Adafruit.

The software is a slightly modified rainbow effect from the NeoPixel stand test included in the library.

Happy Holidays!
