Tutorial Intro: Add Lights to your Festival Coat #adafruit
20Full tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/led-festival-coat-with-mapping-and-wled
This guide will demonstrate two different methods of lighting up a coat:
Fur Trim Lights: String LED lights inside the ubiquitous furry trim that's found on so many Festival jackets. This is a fairly easy build that doesn't require a lot of sewing or coding skills.
Light Matrix Panels: Create a 3-panel LED matrix between the coat fabric and lining that runs 2d animations on the body of the coat. This is a more complicated build that requires some coat deconstruction and sewing, and requires some detail-oriented number work to get the LED map created.
The wiring is the same for both builds, and it's possible to do both in the same coat, though that makes the software setup pretty tricky.
This guide uses the free, open-source WLED software. It's easy to install and to use. Control the lights with your phone or computer over your WiFi network when you're at home, or via AP-MODE (access point mode) when you're out and about. WLED comes with loads of customizable animations for your lights.
