Getting Started
Adafruit Playground is a wonderful and safe place to share your interests with Adafruit's vibrant community of makers and doers. Have a cool project you are working on? Have a bit of code that you think others will find useful? Want to show off your electronics workbench? You have come to the right place.
The goal of Adafruit Playground is to make it as simple as possible to share your work. On the Adafruit Playground users can create Notes. A note is a single-page space where you can document your topic using Adafruit's easy-to-use editor. Notes are like Guides on the Adafruit Learning System but guides are high-fidelity content curated and maintained by Adafuit. Notes are whatever you want them to be. Have fun and be kind.

Electronic Cowbell
One day I thought it'd be fun to take something ordinary that isn't electronic, and make it so, just for fun.
Enter the Electronic Cowbell.
It's a simple electronic motion-activated cowbell that when you turn it on and gently shake it, it responds to your movement and jingles like a real cowbell. It's a wholly unnecessary object to have, but it's all for fun.
The Electronic Cowbell uses an Adafruit RP2040 Prop-Maker Feather with built-in LIS3DH accelerometer to detect movement, and a built-in I2S amp that plays a WAV file through an attached speaker.
This project is also coded using CircuitPython.
Required Parts
The following parts are needed for the project.
In addition to the parts below, you will need to 3D print the cowbell enclosure. The cowbell enclosure is available for download on Thingiverse: Electronic Cowbell
