Raspberry Pi Makes LEGO Minifigures Play Music @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi

LEGO won’t let Daft Punk break up. In fact, Raspberry Pi can make Daft Punk minifigures, or any LEGO minigure, play its own music. Here’s more from Raspberry Pi Blog:

After some poking around, Dennis realised that the LEGO Dimensions toy pad is a three-in-one NFC reader with its own light show. He hooked it up to a Raspberry Pi and developed a Python application to play music when LEGO Dimension Minifigures are placed on the toy pad. So, if an Elvis minifigure is placed on the reader, you’ll hear Elvis’s music.
