What if I told you that you could build a display out of shoe laces!? Well that is exactly what I've done!<br><br>Building your own seven segment display is nothing new, it's a very common Arduino project, but I had an idea for this one so I said I'd give it a go, and I am absolutely delighted with how it came out!<br><br>It's made from Light up shoe laces (light pipe), some addressable RGB LEDs (Neopixels) and a 3D print.<br><br>The idea behind this design was inspired by the Cob LED projects that Unexpected Maker and David Watts are working on.<br><br>I would say version 1 of this project is complete, but I do want to improve it. This is a really messy implementation of potentially really cool project. I wanted to just get a version finished to prove out the concept.<br><br>For more details on this project please check out this video:<br><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rsi1jHEuarI">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

Never thought I'd be using shoe laces in an electronics project
