/challenges-projects/design-challenges/get-closer/b/blog/posts/getcloser-blog-2-off-and-runningThis project is my second wearable project. The materials have improved significantly in the past two years. My first project was a Lilypad based Tieduino. The thread was silver instead of stainless steel, the pixels were monochromatic, and unch...en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/get-closer/b/blog/posts/getcloser-blog-2-off-and-runningFri, 30 Aug 2013 19:36:39 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:b16ac37b-8ca5-4acc-8877-36323fde29d1e14 Contributor1<p>Regarding the Hangout this morning where you mentioned that you wanted to remember where you have already visited, have you considered using the EEPROM?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I haven&#39;t worked with it much, but I understand that Arduinos have a little bit of static memory that you can read and write to (albiet a somewhat limited amount). <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/EEPROM" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank" title="http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/EEPROM">http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/EEPROM</a> has some details about using this onboard memory. You may have to streamline how you handle the location information, since EEPROM is stored in individual bytes?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Looking good so far!</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=16174&AppID=107&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/get-closer/b/blog/posts/getcloser-blog-2-off-and-runningFri, 23 Aug 2013 19:27:22 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:b16ac37b-8ca5-4acc-8877-36323fde29d1zengirl20<p>I think your pixels look nice and bright, so perhaps you can get away with your number of pixels.&nbsp; I remember that adding more stitching can help in the areas that you think look weak.&nbsp; You can just weave stitches through the stitches, if that makes sense.&nbsp; Also, somewhere on the forum I remember reading that you can prolong the brightness depending on your programming and how your pixels blink.&nbsp; That is also something I have to consider for my project.&nbsp; Happy to see your hat come alive. <span>[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-b16ac37b-8ca5-4acc-8877-36323fde29d1/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]</span></p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=16174&AppID=107&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
