Thanks so much to Richard Albritoon for sending in pictures of his and Emily’s awesome, nuclear themed Halloween Costumes!
We had a few photos taken at Gasworks park to show off some of the new wearable LED projects I have been working on. This is basically what we will be wearing out for Halloween on Friday.
Emily is in a radioactive latex dress that she made a few years ago and she is using the color changing LED chameleon fur wrap to keep warm.
I am wearing my radioactive latex top with a radiation corset that was made a few years ago. I got the EL Wire to light up again and it is sound activated so it looks good at any party. The LED Cyber gas mask is new and uses 20 NeoPixels and an Adafruit Trinket.

Flora Color Sensor with White Illumination LED – TCS34725: Your electronics can now see in dazzling color with this lovely color light sensor. We found the best color sensor on the market, the TCS34725, which has RGB and Clear light sensing elements. An IR blocking filter, integrated on-chip and localized to the color sensing photodiodes, minimizes the IR spectral component of the incoming light and allows color measurements to be made accurately. The filter means you’ll get much truer color than most sensors, since humans don’t see IR. The sensor also has an incredible 3,800,000:1 dynamic range with adjustable integration time and gain so it is suited for use behind darkened glass or fabric. (read more)
