NeoPixel LED Heart Necklace

thingiverse

We're creating an LED heart with NeoPixels, utilizing Black LED acrylic to diffuse the NeoPixels inside a 3D printed case. The heart is crafted from strips of material that are daisy chained together to form a custom matrix. The ItsyBitsy nRF52840 and 500mah lipo battery are housed in a separate 3D printed case, equipped with a lipo backpack, which allows the battery to be recharged via USB. We believe this case will work well for your next wearable project, featuring a button that lets you trigger the reset so you can easily update the firmware. You can change the colors of the LEDs using the Adafruit BLE connect app on iOS or Android devices. You can also trigger LED animations like the classic paint your dragon rainbow swirl. With the ItsyBitsy nRF52840, you can easily add BLE to your wearable projects.
