SparkFun will be closed on Tuesday, November 5th to support our team in being able to go out and vote! Orders placed after 2 pm MT Monday, November 4th will ship on Wednesday, November 6th. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
As you've probably noticed in your local grocery over the last month (or months), the stores have been loading up on Easter candy like the world is going to end and chocolate and marshmallow fluff will be the only form of currency. This means an influx of chocolate rabbits (ears still intact), Reese's eggs, and - of course - Peeps. Which brings us to our next project - the "Peep Show." Don't worry, it truly involves only Peeps candy.
This project from SparkFun customer Kyle Ringgenberg uses 10 servos, a host of LEDs, an Arduino board, an audio decoder, various other bits and pieces, and at least 11 Peeps (though I'm guessing a few were consumed during production). The result is a funny (and punny) animatronic "Peep Show."
Yeah, it's kind of an obvious joke...but it is a well-done project with some clever construction. Nice work, Kyle!
Epic win. I hope this gets used for a Senior project or something. Just to see this presented to a room full of instructors would be priceless.
This is a far better use for peeps than eating the nasty, sugar covered, foamy bits of candy hell.

This has viral video written all over it. Love it!
Great work! I actually laughed out loud on this one.
From the first picture, I thought it was an automated weaving machine where you program what you want to make in G-code.
You should do more project posts.
Why? For copyright reasons!
Touché!!
I guess the better question is, why is a peep show copyrighted by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers?
Sony Music Entertainment maybe?
I kinda want to go pick up some peeps and put them in a microwave now...
