To do

  • Cut up rest of LED strip into sections of 23 LEDs.
  • Fix rest of LED strips onto crinoline.
  • Microcontrollers and wiring.
  • Figure out how much power is needed and battery holders.
  • Want side-emitting LEDs along the bottom, but can't find side-emitting LEDs that are also waterproof, and can't put more than 1m of non-waterproof ones in a silicon tube.
  • Diameter of crinoline bottom hoop is 80 cm. Need to add an extra 100+cm of arc length of black paneling and tulle paneling to inner layers.

  • 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.
