For the next batch of earrings, I plan on adding a bunch more pride flags to the earrings. Any suggestions? I already have the rainbow flag and the trans flag.
Note that because these are LEDs, the colors black and gray are difficult to represent so for example the ace flag sadly won't work well.
Also, for those interested, I'm still selling the previous batch ^^
@sashag @h5e Oooh that is really cool! I made a LED dress once but don't wear it very often and it doesn't have any special features like heart rate detection.
Attached: 1 image Made this LED dress for a festival. The LEDs are hanging under the skirt, and are controlled by a RP2040 programmed using @[email protected]. Power comes from a power bank I carry with me. This was actually just quickly hacked together but worked surprisingly well. If I'd made this again, I'd have to think of a way to better fix the LEDs in place. They're just hanging there now and get tangled easily.

@ayke @h5e The dress in the video is a custom design by a fashion designer for a cocktail reception. The customer is a software engineer and her father a pretty successful physicist. The reception was to celebrate a scientific prize he had received. And she wanted something that brought together his physics and her software.
The fabric was custom printed. It shows particle traces in a fog chamber. She was wearing one of these fitness tracker belts around her waist and ran a self written program on her phone that got the heart rate, talked to the microcontroller steering the LEDs and also connected to some IBM cloud service (she worked for IBM) that determined the LED color. Party guests could visit the website and change the color.
I wanted this to be more flexible and without a cloud service and proprietary hardware like the fitness tracker.
The controller is arduino based (but I might change that), the pulse sensor is from https://pulsesensor.com/ and the NeoPixel strings are from AdaFruit, ridiculously expensive to import from the US. But a girl has to do …
