Week 5: Neopixel and marbles

For the S we need a very long neopixel strip, because we want people to be able to give the letter different colours. We could not find a sponsor for this so I went to Harry and Rene to ask if school still had neopixel that we could buy.

Rene showed me a neopixel that was about 3 meters long. I tried to figure out if this was too long or if we needed more. After some calculating and counting I found out that it was actually the right size. I just needed to cut of 3 leds.

For the maze in the D we need a marble where a magnet works on. I did some research online and found that Conrad had marbles that were the right size for our letter and not to expensive. We already tried Conrad as a sponsor but they did not want to do that for us. I called Conrad to make sure that the marbles we attracted by a magnet so that people can move it though the maze witch the magnet that we have.
