Christmas Celebrations - chocolate box LEDs with music

Nothing says "Christmas" like a box of Celebrations - especially one that plays Christmassy music and is lit with LEDs.



I've finished the code so that it now randomly chooses one of fifteen snippets from different Christmas songs to play while the LEDs gently pulse. With the addition of some jumper wires you can now choose from several sets of Poundland LEDs in different styles and colours.




If you want to look at the code, here it is:

	# Import Python libraries
	from gpiozero import LED, PWMLED, Button
	import pygame.mixer
	from pygame.mixer import Sound
	import time
	from signal import pause
	import random
	import os
	pygame.mixer.init()
	randomfile = ""
	file = ""
	# Set the GPIO pins
	led = PWMLED(24)
	button = Button(3)
	while True:
	button.wait_for_press()
	time.sleep(0.25)
	led.pulse(n=10)
	randomfile = random.sample(os.listdir("/home/pi/fright/music/"), 1)[0]
	print randomfile
	file = '/home/pi/fright/music/'+ randomfile
	santa = Sound(file)
	print file
	pygame.mixer.music.set_volume(0.5)
	santa.play()
