See Erin St Blaine’s latest tutorial on the Adafruit Learning System. She made a dress using NeoPixel LEDs and Phil Burgess’s Arduino code (the amazing Oozemaster 3000 code). The code mimics the way water flows, seeps and drips to stunning effect, so Erin’s dress creates the illusion of water constantly glowing and flowing over her body.
This guide is based on Phil Burgess’s Oozemaster 3000 guide, which shows how to create the same illusion for Halloween props or stationary objects. We wanted to see if the same illusion could work on clothing and we’re so excited about the results!
From the guide:
Create an outfit that exudes glamor and sophistication to showcase your ocean goddess look.
This is a fairly advanced project that requires some costume skills and a lot of wiring and soldering. If you don’t have proficient welding skills yet, you will have them by the time you complete this project.
This is not a step-by-step setup guide either. I’ll review tips and techniques and show you the path I took and the mistakes I made, giving you the tools to build your own amazing creations.
