New Guide! LED Matrix Scoreboard #CircuitPython

Build an LED scoreboard using an RGB Matrix and CircuitPython! This indoor game lets you shoot hoops and display your score on an LED Matrix.

The 3D printed hoop houses an IR break beam sensor that detects when a ball has gone through it. The 3D printed parts hold everything together and are designed to be easy to build so you can make one at home.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
