Bit of a blog hiatus between this post and the previous posts, but the hardware side of the project has been essentially completed. In this time, I've found one major bug with my project design, related to voltage. After putting everything together and tring to just have the main LED array pulse...
New 3D printed cases came in today, courtesy of my friend who was willing to print them on his printer. The new case has the holes for power and the heart sensor pre-cut this time, which lets me do a lot less work cutting those holes out. It also fixes a majority of the spacing and fitting issues...
There was a lot of testing done today, namely for the LEDs and with the battery on the main board.
First of all, the leds were tested as a strip on a breadboard, again with just an Arduino. All example code worked well on this, and the LEDs were actually incredibly bright despite their...
A lot of planning and soldering was done today. Because the neopixel nano 2427s were not possible to mount directly to the touch sensors by themselves (the DIN pin pointed into the touch button, which would require a wire going underneath the led to connect to it), I've decided to make a strip of...
