Project LED-skirt
2020-01-17 183719 - DSC08492.jpg
Status In progress
Contact Noor
Last Update 2020-01-18

To do

  • Add another Arduino microcontroller for LED strips only.
  • Battery holders.
  • Add plastic panel on top of LEDs for waterproofing, smoothening out for cloth on top, and maybe some diffusion?
  • Diameter of crinoline bottom hoop is 80 cm. Add an extra 100+cm of arc length of black paneling and tulle paneling to inner layers.
  • Replace strip in bottom tube with side-emitting LEDs?

LED count

  • 240 - circles (all used except one)
  • 64 - 8x8 panel.
  • 23 - strip 1.
  • 23 - strip 2.
  • 17 - strip 3.
  • 84 (?) - strip along bottom tube.

Total: 451 LEDs.

2019-11-12 - 2019-11-24

  • Layout of LEDs, waiting for items to arrive.
  • Tested out LEDs under layers and on crinoline.

2019-11-25

  • Took apart seams of inner layers of black skirt to add extra panels to fit over crinoline.

2019-11-26

  • Measured skirt on top of crinoline. Extra panel with bottom arc length of 100+cm.
  • Decided to go with 6 strips of 23 LEDs each. Cut one strip.

2019-12-03 - 2019-12-05

  • Tested out LED rings. One wire was detached so had to be soldered on.

2019-12-06

  • Punched holes in crinoline, used zip ties to attach first LED strip.
  • Took apart LED circles and tested FastLED programs.
  • Set up LED circles, one strip, and panel together on crinoline and used zip ties to place everything but the panel on crinoline.
  • Ran FastLED programs on everything together.
  • Pictures posted by others to Facebook, RevSpace kiekjes, Twitter.
