Wooden NeoPixel Xmas Tree

It's never a bad time to make a NeoPixel project, but the holiday season certainly does lend itself to creating large-scale, blinky, colorful displays. In this project, we're taking the classic Christmas tree shape, cutting it out of wood and mounting some NeoPixels in the tree to create a festive yuletide light display.

The whole thing is controlled by a CircuitPlayground Bluefruit board, which sits proudly on top of the tree in a 3D printed star with all ten of its NeoPixels shining brightly and swirling along with the additional pixels on the tree.

Supplies

To create this project, you'll need:

Don't feel confined by these supplies though for the tree body and NeoPixel mounting options. You could use fabric, cardboard, foam, etc. to create your own tree shape.
