NEW GUIDE: Interactive City Skyline made with #CircuitPlaygroundExpress and #MakeCode

This guide shows how to build an attractive illuminated scene that can serve as a lamp or a living piece of art for your home. The Interactive City Skyline is constructed out of cardboard and paper and outfitted with some Adafruit electronics, creating a simple but beautiful introduction to basic construction and coding.

The NeoPixel strip that illuminates the city scene is controlled by a Circuit Playground Express, and is programmed in Microsoft MakeCode to react to certain environmental conditions. Two modes allow the NeoPixel strip to dim or brighten the strip in accordance with ambient light levels, or adjust its color based on the temperature measured by its onboard thermistor.
