# Sound Reactive Sunflower Baby Crib Mobile with Bluetooth Control
## Overview
https://youtu.be/t3yQkryaNok
Make a beautiful hanging mobile with lights for your nursery. This mobile is so cute and so much fun that older kids and adults will definitely enjoy it as well.
The included sample code has around 8 different animated color modes that you can control via bluetooth using Adafruit's free BlueFruit app. It also has a sound reactive mode, where the lights will pulse in time to music or voices in the room.
This is a fairly easy build that requires just a little bit of tight soldering on the LED strip. The sunflowers are made from craft foam and felt that you can cut by hand or with a vinyl cutting machine. This project uses just a half-meter of very high density NeoPixels, making for gorgeously buttery smooth animations.
Plus, you'll put a Circuit Playground Bluefruit into the hands of the younger generation and start inspiring them to love animated lights from a very young age. That's always a win, in my book.
## Parts
This project uses a Circuit Playground Bluefruit microcontroller and 1/2 meter of super high density NeoPixels. The pixel strip has 332 pixels per meter (166 pixels in a half meter), which is enough pixels for five "active" sunflowers.

I also added two strands of warm white fairy lights, to add visual interest. These can be turned on and off in the code in case you want to add variety to your modes.
To keep the wiring neat and tidy, I used 30awg wire ribbon cable to run wires from the flowers to the Circuit Playground.
