  • 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.

  • 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.
