This project was to try and take the make it switch tutorial a step further. I attempted to integrate the circuit playground express into a Lamp like set up and with all the cardboard lying around from recent package deliveries, I had the supplies to do it. All I needed was a the simple knowledge to tape up and cut the cardboard to fit how I wanted it.
The way to lamp works is with two different switches. One switch when flipped to the on position, turns the lamp on and all the neo-pixels go to a solid white color. Once that switch is turned on you can flip the other switch so that the lights will begin to swirl in a rainbow color. When the first switch is turned to off and the second switch is still active, the next time you turn the first switch to on it will still be in rainbow mode. This Lamp lights up a dark room pretty well and can be a nice nightlight if needed.
