I finally got around to writing up my wedding dress light
project that my wife wore to our wedding in 2016. It uses Neopixels, A
Powerboost 1000C and Adafruit Huzzah Breakout amongst others. Thanks for
making such awesome gear.
Last year I got married to my wonderful wife and I had to bring some tech to the wedding. So I built lights into my wife’s wedding dress and on a T-shirt to wear under my shirt. See the finished dress below.
Parts
48 Neopixels 36 on the dress + 12 Neopixels on the t-shirt.
Adafruit Powerboost 1000C
LIPo 2000Mah
TL-WR710N wireless router – A great portable wireless router

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.
