Wireless Plasma Kit (Pico W Aboard)

Bit random, but not an ad

I like to tinker, I like weather. I like to tinker with weather. Therefore we have the Wireless Plasma Kit (Pico W Aboard) moodlight running a weather script. I think it would be a great project for any young budding tech to give a go - stocking stuffer this Christmas? I'm currently in the process of providing feedback to my experience, it's a little smaller than I expected (the bottle) and the wires are very fine and finickity, but they have said that in later ones they are going to pre-tin the ends. Other than that it's pretty cool =)

I've included a few screenshots to give you an idea, it runs a lot of white LEDs because ... well that's cloud - and I live in Scotland but currently iit's pulsating a slow blue due to code 61 = slight rain. I have a couple of PIR sensors and maybe looking at a few more - but the new pico w with wifi really does open this up to possibilities =) Again not an ad but thought I'd share my experience.
