LED Matrix Amulet Tutorial: Build your own magical dance wear necklace pendant
from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries
Make your outfit shine with this customizable LED amulet. It packs a whopping 64 LEDs into a tiny space so you can go crazy with animations and effects, match any outfit, and twinkle like the star you are. This is a fairly easy project that requires a little tight soldering, but no coding. The free, open-source WLED software does all the heavy lifting for you, and offers dozens of animations and color palettes to choose from, using a smart phone interface over your local WiFi network. My enclosure is sculpted from low-temperature thermoplastic, giving a fun organic look to the necklace. The electronics could also easily be made into a hat topper or brooch. This little piece of sparkle is versatile and small enough to use just about anywhere you need some light and color.
