From the guy who brought you the accELeration speedcrutches – the fastest* crutches in the world – comes a revolutionary new product: the Cranderson Enterprises IncrLEDible Power Vest. What, you might ask, is a power vest? Put simply, it’s a vest that gives you the power to dance faster, harder, and better than you could without it.
Let’s have a cursory look at some (but not all) of the steps that go into making each IncrLEDible Power Vest.
First, two programmable LED strips need to be wired up to connect to a breakout board. First solder the wires:
Then hot glue to strengthen the physical connection and insulate the wires:
Then electrical tape for further strength and weather-proofing:
Next, the brain of each LED strip needs a bit of soldering so it can be connected to the strip:
Me and my soldering station:
Once the LED strips are both ready and tested, they need to be attached to the vest. First, the placement of the strip should be marked out with chalk or masking tape. These two photos show one side marked, and the other already attached:
Slits are then cut in the vest’s outer layer to create pass-through loops:
View from the inside of the vest:
On the prototype, I reinforced the area around each loop with duct tape, but for long term durability, thread should be used (like around a button hole).
And here’s the final product showing a sample 50 second light sequence. Each of the 32 LEDs in each strip (64 per vest) are individually programmable to turn on or off in any order, for any length of time, at any mathematically-definable interval, in any of a whopping 2 million colours:
