Astonish the kids with light-up bubbles! This 3d printed bubble wand uses seed pixel lights with a Mini Sparkle Motion controller to light up your bubbles as you blow them. The lights reflect off the bubbles and create a glowing cacophony of soapy fun. 

This is an easy beginner project with just a little soldering and no coding required. We provide the 3d printable files and show you how to install the WLED software. Control the lights over WiFi using any smart phone or web browser. You can even make the lights sound reactive, and see if you can get the bubbles to vibrate and flash to the beat of your favorite music. This project promises hours of bubbly, glowy fun.

Parts

The Seed Pixel strand comes pre-soldered with these 3-pin JST connectors. If you're planning to use this strand for more than one project (and we're only using a small section of it so you'll have a lot left), it's a good idea to get a few more.
