This is so amazing! You know what could be a great upgrade? A sound visualizer where it receives audio data com your phone and displays the sound waves on the skirt!
Yes, that's great idea. Already tested it some time ago with an ESP32, it is a lot of fun. But I have to wait until the clubs reopen again (covid), so I we can test it on the dance floor.
@@makeTVee A video montage of the finished circuitry, where the microcontroller and battery pack fit, the inside of the skirt while removing and/or replacing the LEDs would be great. Just something that shows how everything fits together. The circuit itself is pretty well known anyway.
I'd like to see what the motion trigger LEDs do when walking or running or dancing. People don't spend their time jumping up and down, even on a dance floor.
You can easily remove the LEDs and electronics for washing. The battery pack is in a pocket at the back. You can find more information and pictures at hackaday.io/project/177255-neopixel-led-skirt
Depends on the threshold in the software, either it is triggered by fast movements or you need to jump to trigger it. But it is still work in progress. Costs are around 40$ for LEDs and electronics.
@@makeTVee nope, I don't, but a friend of me does. I think the girl I'm talking about who's going to use it, would be an excellent candidate to campaign your product if you're deciding to produce/go commercial with this? You've a great product here!
Nice work - the outer fabric choice really enhances the effect! Suggestions: The bounce needs a little higher 'gravity', faster decay - just takes too long to settle down as it is. Maybe randomize the decay going from a bit faster to what you have now? I thought the slower speed was due to the microcontroller, but the fire animation actually needs to be slowed down - without some diffusion, the LEDs just look too busy at that animation speed. A heavy-weight white crepe fabric layer could be used as a diffuser instead, but it might make the skirt kind of heavy overall.
This is really dissappointing! Is jumping up and down all its good for? And why is it only one sided? What happens if you walk toward the camera. Or dance (NOT jump)?
It is a first demo video. Walking and dancing also triggers the effects, but there is much more possible for this use cases, which needs some more development time... If you are interested in the design decisions like the front only design, please check out the instructables page.

The bounce-after-jump is really fun!
Love the "On fire" animation.
Super cool! I would love more details - cant wait for the follow up
Please check hackaday.io/project/177255-neopixel-led-skirt
Cool project, would love to see the build video! 👊
Unfortunately, I didn't record one this time. But took some pictures, so I will share this soon.

This is awesome , absolutely awesome.
The joy of the wife of an electronics engineer and the trouble of her husband. ))) But good job.

Well done...
Thank you!
So..... how do you wash 'em? Do you have to remove the LED strips? Where's the battery pack?
You can easily remove the LEDs and electronics for washing. The battery pack is in a pocket at the back. You can find more information and pictures at hackaday.io/project/177255-neopixel-led-skirt
How's the motion trigger look if you're walking/running? Also, what's the rough cost of this sort of thing?
Depends on the threshold in the software, either it is triggered by fast movements or you need to jump to trigger it. But it is still work in progress. Costs are around 40$ for LEDs and electronics.
@@makeTVee Oh that's pretty reasonable. Thanks a lot.
I wanna buy this XD
I love it! How can I make this? 🤩
Thanks! I will publish details about the project soon. I will let you know as soon as this is done.
@@makeTVee Awsome!!

@@makeTVee joined 😁
I know someone who really like to have this, she's uploading short dancing clips on Twitter sometimes. Can you help me/her ?
Maybe, do you have any experience in either sewing or soldering/coding?

Thanks for your feedback, I will definitely test this out.

1:36 as in dark ages, that side is still in the dark.
you are right, comfortable sitting on blinking LEDs is not solved yet
@@makeTVee not sitting at all seems a small sacrifice. Much smaller than high heels
this is beyond amazing!
Thank you!
