I hacked a Christmas toy

Thanks to https://pcbway.com for sponsoring this video. Right before heading off for the holiday, I agreed to fix a (somewhat) old dancing tree. As with most of my projects it got WAY more involved than I expected, especially when I wanted to add in new functionality...

PCB & Code:
I will be posting the design files as well as the code for the microcontroller (ATMega328P) used in the video - but it needs WORK! This was thrown together super quick. Stay tuned while I get them to a good spot :)
