What’s a wearable project without LEDs? These tiny smart pixels are our favorite thing.
Now it’s even easier to get your costumes up and running with NeoPixels. The contacts are easily sewn with conductive thread. Use this guide to test your first pixel and start on a blinding wearables project with Circuit Playground Express, FLORA or GEMMA.
We’ve added Circuit Playground Express instructions to this guide. Coding is easier than ever using Microsoft MakeCode‘s drag and drop code editor. Add lights to your outfit or costume with no soldering whatsoever, and discover how very easy it is to make your lights animate without writing a single line of code.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
