Go for Halloween this year. These curved filaments are an easy way to add lighting to your outfits.
Erin St. Blaine’s study guide walks you through the steps!
Adafruit nOOds are light little noodles. They’re as simple to use as regular LEDs – connect one end to power and one to ground, and they’ll light up and glow. They are incredibly flexible and flexible, making them perfect for subtle garment details. It only requires a single coin cell battery to last for hours, eliminating the need to manage a noisy EL-wire inverter.
We’re also going to get a little crazy and connect 3 nOOds to a QT Py microcontroller so they can be dimmed or sorted using CircuitPython code.
Check out the complete guide!
Happy Halloween! We’ll be bringing you electronic Halloween ideas and projects all month long!

Every Wednesday is Wearable Wednesday at Adafruit! We bring you the shiniest, trendiest, most innovative and useful wearables from around the web and our own original projects, including our wearable Arduino compatible platform FLORA. Be sure to post your wearables projects in the forum or send us a link and you might be featured on Wearables Wednesday!
Adafruit publishes a wide range of written and filmed content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended to serve as a guide to best practices for use with Adafruit, as well as an overview of the ethical standards to which Adafruit strives.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start building now! Adafruit’s circuit playground is filled with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads, and more. Build projects in minutes with Circuit Playground through the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science with CS Discoveries courses on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware, TinyGO, and even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the latest and greatest Circuit Playground board, supporting CircuitPython, MakeCode and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, infrared reception and transmission, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads and a large number of sensors: capacitive touch, infrared proximity, temperature, light, Movement and sound. A vast world of electronics and coding awaits you, and it’s right in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show & Tell takes place every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, go to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
