Check out the latest guide from Erin St Blaine: add lights to your festival coat and control the lights with your phone. This guide will show two different ways to add animated NeoPixel lights to your favorite furry festie warmie.
From the guide:
Hold onto your hat, 'cause your threads are about to get a serious upgrade, man. We're talkin' LED lights for your furry coat, but not just any lights, my friends. We're talkin' lights that'll have you struttin' like a disco diva under the neon glow.
This guide will demonstrate two different methods of lighting up a coat:
1. Fur Trim Lights: String LED lights inside the ubiquitous furry trim that's found on so many Festival jackets. This is a fairly easy build that doesn't require a lot of sewing or coding skills.
2. Light Matrix Panels: Create a 3-panel LED matrix between the coat fabric and lining that runs 2d animations on the body of the coat. This is a more complicated build that requires some coat deconstruction and sewing, and requires some detail-oriented number work to get the LED map created.
