I had a bit more time to work on this project, I'd say I'm about half way through. So I went ahead and edited together a video on my YouTube channel showing the progress up to this point...

When I last left off I had just received the hardware and ordered my laser cut pieces. The next set if components I needed were the electronics. For this I headed over to Adafruit.com. I picked up a Trinket 5v microcontroller, and a 4-pack of the RGB Neopixels.

I've started a new project over the past few weeks creating an electronic phenakistoscope. This is actually a project I started many years ago and failed, so I'm giving it another go. I will have a few videos on my YouTube channel once I get this completed, but I can get into more detail here...
