This holiday season, Particle Industries Inc. unveils the Particle Snowflake, an innovative decoration that combines the holiday spirit with the latest technology. Designed to add a unique twinkle and melody to your holiday decorations, the Particle Snowflake is designed for a tech-savvy individual.
Particle describes its product as follows:
Taking the form of a snowflake, this Particle P2 WiFi module-powered PCBA twinkles its LEDs to provide a seasonal light show. Use it as a tree topper, an ornament, or a standalone decoration with the right USB-C stand.
Elaborating further, Particle adds that the center logo functions as a touch button for interactive experience changes. It also includes a speaker and microphone which makes the development process easy.
You can personalize the snowflake with different light shows and songs, or turn it into a clock. Add more lights by connecting an RGB LED strip. For more fun, set up voice commands using our simple tutorial. Find everything you need on GitHub.
