My step son with autism would absolutely love this. I seen it in a dump on here but nobody knew. Thanks in advance! I appreciate it!

For those that have a newer phone. The app store has an app called free ball. Does the same thing. Fun and soothing.

You'll need to build it yourself and it looks complicated https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_PixelDust

Thank you. Also disappointing. Ill look into this further.
MrStealYourGiF
Search Tindie, see if anyone is selling them assembled.
ThatCanadianViking
Will take a look, thank you!

Or go to an arduino forum. Maybe someone can build it for you seeing who its for.

@op if you have a 3d printer, or an etch-a-Sketch and a screen with perfect luck, and know how to program an Arduino, you make this yourself
usersubbordercontrol
IF you really want, you can get an old tablet, and make a program to do this. It's pretty cheap and easy. Probably there's an app for it
usersubbordercontrol
@op do you have an old iPad or tablet? I can start making an app today, that does this. I can publish for Android a lot faster than iOS
usersubbordercontrol
Especially since I've only messed around once with iOS programming, and was using a friend's test account. I'd have to pay for publishing
ThatCanadianViking
Thats awesome! Id realky appreciate that! He has an android tablet he uses right now
usersubbordercontrol
I'll attempt to make it. Been a year since I published anything to Android. Got anything you'd want in specific?

Similar app for Android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=smellymoo.sand
ThatCanadianViking
Not quite the same but ill try him on it. The way that one lit up would make him so happy. Ty
usersubbordercontrol
You'd prefer it to follow a pixel grid, and just follow gravity? Not fancy combinations of different sand?

Sorry gotta add like background music. He plays some egg game all the time but a lot he just holds his tablet to his ear
