LED Glasses with Sprites Custom Animated Graphics #Adafruit Product #AdafruitLearningSystem @Adafruit « Adafruit Industries – Makers, Hackers, Artists, Designers and Engineers!

Check out Erin St Blaine’s latest tutorial on creating custom moving eye graphics that blink, flash and wiggle for your EyeLights LED glasses. This is a simple tutorial and fun for kids. They’ll love wearing light-up sunglasses that display images of their own designs. From the guide:

Create custom pixel graphics for your LED glasses and show off your style. These eye-catching glasses are fun to customize and wear. It’s easy to build – just plug the controller board into the glasses, attach the frame, and you’re ready to upload your custom eye graphics.

This tutorial will show you how to create a simple animated pixel art illustration (sprite) and upload it to your glasses. This is a great project for kids or people interested in learning to code. We’ve done most of the heavy lifting so you can do the fun part: making your own glasses.

abstract:
– This guide provides instructions on how to create custom animated graphics for LED glasses by drawing pixel art and using sprite sheets.
– It details the process of using Piskel to create and animate sprites, export them to .bmp files, and implement them using CircuitPython code.

Adafruit products used:
– This guide utilizes [Adafruit LED Glasses Driver](https://www.adafruit.com/product/5217) Used to control the LED matrix on glasses.
– It also mentions using [Adafruit LIS3DH Triple-Axis Accelerometer](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2809) Used to detect head tilt to loop animation.
– The LED glasses themselves, are [Adafruit EyeLights LED Glasses and Driver](https://www.adafruit.com/product/5217), which is the core of this project.
