gemma-splashwear 4 doggy & me creating umbrella hat part 2

gdgarced

Hello everyone, I want to share what I have in mind for Pierre's umbrella hat and my hat. Theses NeoPixel rings are soo cool that I just wanted to add them to the top of my umbrella hats. The umbrella hats have a little plastic at the top to stop leaks well, I decided that I would create my own but after I saw the adafruit star,  I thought I would scan that logo star, enlarge it and then trace it onto vinyl and use that to stop any leaks and it's pretty. Here are some pics of my ideas. I want to add stickers to cover the Flora and to cover the battery. I thought it would be fun to do even though I like showing off the electronics. I also wanted to show you all how I came up with the design on the umbrella hats to match my ponchos.

    Hey Dab, I'm still working on last minute details. You are so right. lucky for me that I shut thing off fast and i didn't damage the flora or the GPS witch are the pricey parts on my poncho. I was tired it was maybe 4am and I was soldering 8 strips of LEDs and over 50 pieces of wires and I couldn't see straight but it has been all worth it! 2 more days and I will present my finished pieces. 

  • It looks like you are learning good tips and techniques as you go.

     

    Polarity issues are always important as you can destroy some components by putting them together backwards.

     

    Looks like a good build.
