Well done. Thanks for giving CircuitPython a great leg up - its great for projects like this and so easy to get started.

Congratulations on your win and awesome project, [mention:cff82ed12b714001a1ba5205f2cb553c:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]-- I am so glad you did this with Circuit Python and got the Adafruit blog mention. I think Circuit Python has such a strong future that I'm pushing it in my mentoring sessions for others.

It is also clear that the next level of project wins on Element 14 will need a finished chassis/ cool look like you gave to Xut.

Xut was featured on the Adafruit blog and has a link to Element14 :-)

Kind regards.

Oh no! You pulled his face off again. This is a great all round project and is the sort of outcome I aspire to: a great and attractive packaging, fun and engaging electronics. I wonder if I could design a penguin in TinkerCAD - that would be a challenge.

For some reason the full video did not upload. I will try again. I took Xut to the Seattle Hardware Happy Hour last night and displayed where he generated some interest. The end of the year meeting always has some good projects. Unfortunately it was pretty noisy so it was not possible to hear him even though he is sufficiently loud in a more normal setting.
