First test of part of a wearable LED panel.
I have high-tech tastes on a low-tech budget so I keep it simple where I can. The panel itself is simply two pieces of cereal box cardboard, laminated with ‘puzzle saver’ glue and taped to a curved surface to dry.
I gave it a coat of paint to keep moisture out.
I used acrylic silicon caulking to fasten the strip segments to the panel, using masking tape to hold them down until dry.
Holes for the wire were started with a pointy object (geometry compass) then finished with a drill. The segments are laid out in a serpentine pattern.
In the video, it’s running the noise sketch. Excuse the poor video, I was in a hurry.
The end goal is to have 10 panels (one for each forearm, upper arm, shin, thigh, and two side-by-side for the chest), each controlled separately, most likely mirroring each other to begin with – to keep it as simple as possible.
Thanks to everyone who’s offered advice and help so far!
