This Crazy Police Hat Will Make You Laugh #WearableWednesday
I’m always amazed by the ideas makers have and this hat is no exception. It happened to hit my mailbox from Hackster.io recently, and the maker is HomeMadeGarbage. I’m not sure if that refers to the fact that recycled parts are often incorporated or whether the person just believes that their projects are just over the top. Actually it could be both! This spinning light atop a headband is actually voice activated, and if you listen carefully you can hear the girl making fun sounds to keep it going.
Inside the PET cap is some Adafruit parts including a Trinket microcontroller (which is tiny and perfect for this project) as well as a NeoPixel ring. A motor spins with a light blocking plate around the NeoPixel ring, causing the light flicker effect. Of course there is a mic to trigger the action by audio, which is really the best part. If you want to start a town watch group for your neighborhood, this could be a great project. Here’s the Trinket 3.3V you’ll need to get soldering. Have fun and play it safe!
Every Wednesday is Wearable Wednesday here at Adafruit! We’re bringing you the blinkiest, most fashionable, innovative, and useful wearables from around the web and in our own original projects featuring our wearable Arduino-compatible platform, FLORA. Be sure to post up your wearables projects in the forums or send us a link and you might be featured here on Wearable Wednesday!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
