Sunshine's Technicolor DreamCoat
Sunday, April 04, 2021
I took some RGB addressable strip lights, wired them all in parallel (so they would all be in sync), and stuck them on my dog's coat for outside.  I used an Adafruit Trinket and FastLED codes to get the effect.  The battery is 1000mA/hr from a drone and supplies 7.4 volts to a 5 volt regulator.  I made the box on my 3D printer, but have since removed it and made the whole control system lighter.  I had to sew the circles on but the strips were self adhesive and stuck on okay.

The software is designed for 16 devices in a row, but some of the strips are more, some are less.  Also the small circles are only 12.   This was by design...I wanted to have that special effect.
