This week, we made a lot of progress! We struggled with lighting out neopixel strips, but Andres and Fang got them to finally light up by the end of Thursday’s work day.
We also explored the jacket deconstruction and reconstruction. The jacket had the pockets sewn in and Jade started experimenting with how to best make a tunnel of organza for the neopixel strip to slide through. The best method found so far is running a doubled-up layer of organza through the serger on both sides then stitching it onto the jacket.
This week, we will work to attach the neopixel connection to the heart rate monitor, work on the “tunnels” for the neopixel strips, and, hopefully, attach the strips to the jacket.
