I once entered a running event called "Electric Run"
Its a 5km run with lights and glow. I fabricated some leds onto a t-shirt controller with some ne555 timers and a very annoying strobe light was build.

So i wanted a new version: Led shirt 2.0

So I powered up some:
Led Panel of ws2812b led's driven by a esp8266.
With lithium battery's to make it portable.
The Android device acts as an access-point.
And can drive multiple panels simultaneously

AND DAMN THATS A LOT OF LIGHT

I'll keep the end movie updated here:

I Googled "WS2812B flexible clothing panels" and saw many available, for as little as $30 or so from Alibaba and Aliexpress.  It looks like many of them are in silicone mats.  Would these work?  Seems like a good way to make them easier and less expensive to make.  Also, what about neodymium magnet tape to hold them on?  I just found the app online and can't wait to give it a try.

Will you open source the android app?

  Are you sure? yes | no

Willem Wouters wrote 01/24/2016 at 08:16 • point

Yes, I'm planning to make the app open source. But at the moment there is too much hack code in. I first want to clean up the app before I release it.

  Are you sure? yes | no
