Make a light up Master Sword from the Legend of Zelda! This build has motion activated sound effects and LED animations!
The Adafruit Feather and Prop-Maker FeatherWing has you need to add lights and sounds to your projects. NeoPixel LEDs are fitted inside the blade.
This uses the built-in accelerometer and audio amp. When you swing it around, it’ll make different sound effects. On heavy hits it makes flashes and fade the colors of the LEDs.
It has pulsing animation and an idle sound effect that loops in the background. You can make this fit your project by customizing the colors or adding different sound effects. You can recharge the battery or even add new sounds with the USB port. The sword mounts on a computer, just like a USB Drive!

I made this sword a half year ago for my ex-wife who´s really Zelda enthusiatic. The handle is modified to carry a bigger battery and more stable in the middle where it´s glued. I used a sound transducer instead of a speaker and another charging adapter, it´s hidden under the pommel that can be screwed off. To hide the glue sections in the blade it´s weathered with a few fighting scratches after I put on a thin chrome effect paint, so it looks like metal when the lights are off. It was a lot of work, but it´s really a nice 3D model and I´m happy with the result.
