Sparkle Skirt project (almost) finished

Post by csjktcb »

I wanted to post this so Lady Ada, and Erin St Blaine could see what they helped me build for my daughters Black belt banquet coming up. And Thank you to all the Adafruit Team ☺

It is based on:

I can't wait for when it gets updated to Python ☺.
I still have to find a way to attach the playground to the Dress (maybe sew on a lace pocket?). And I'm having problems with only half the neopixels lighting up. My multi meter shows Power and Ground so it must be signal. Either a bad Driver in the LED or a Bad solder joint for the #6 Led. I picked up an Express to replace it just in case, but would rather keep that for learning Python.
Edit: All the LEDs on the dress light up (20, two rows of 10), but only the first half on the playground....

Okay, so pressing on the input pin with power on causes the other lights to power up. So a little solder real quick and it's back to like it was new, the 6th Neopixel (just above the vbatt) only lights up blue but the rest are 100% so it will work.
