Color Mixing QT Py Cuff Bracelet #WearableWednesday
Give your Valentine a glowy bracelet this year with help from the Adafruit Learning System! LED wearables let you change colors to match your outfit or your mood. This customizable cuff, made from simple craft materials, uses two LED strips which diffuse and mix their colors into hot glue “gems” to produce dynamic color gradients spanning the spectrum.
The small, versatile QT Py board can create complex color patterns with simple CircuitPython code, and the bracelet itself is a surprisingly straightforward build – using tools no more complex than a hot glue gun and soldering iron.
