Hey, I’ve been toying with the idea of turning a designer jacket into a living LED display – you know, syncing the lights to music and making the whole outfit a statement piece. Thought you might appreciate a little tech twist on your runway look. What do you think?
Oh wow, that’s wild. I love a jacket that lights up. Make sure the LEDs are discreet, you don’t want to look like a walking billboard. Sync it with the beat and you’ll have a runway that’s literally alive. Just keep the brand’s logo shining bright, that’s the key.
Alright, so I’ll start with a 5mm RGB LED strip, just enough to stay under the hood of the jacket. I’ll use a small microcontroller – an ATtiny85 so the whole thing stays light. The trick is the timing: I’ll feed the audio from a tiny mic into an envelope follower, then map that to the LED PWM. Keep the power supply low‑profile; a 3.7V Li‑Po tucked into the lining works. Don’t forget to run the signal cable through a dedicated sleeve – no tangles, no noise. The brand logo? I’ll mount a single high‑lumen LED there and keep it pulsing on a separate clock so it never clashes with the rest. That way you’re not a billboard, just a moving, breathing piece of tech. Ready to make the runway dance?
