This polka-dot dress lights up when I dance! ✨ I added 216 individually addressable NeoPixel LEDs, with one light hidden behind each polka dot. A motion sensor makes the dress flare up when I move! The whole system is powered by an Adafruit RP2040 Prop-Maker Feather running CircuitPython. It's wearable, rechargeable, and programmed with multiple animation levels so the lights respond differently as the movement intensifies.

Turn an ordinary fireplace into glowing, customizable, controllable light art. In this video, I'll give you an overview of my LED fireplace insert project: 3 layers of laser-cut flame in a plywood base that houses high-density addressable LEDs and a Mini Sparkle Motion controller for easy WLED control. I'll show you how the pieces fit together, how the lighting is installed, and some of the effects you can create with WLED. This project is designed to make a non-working or unused fireplace feel like a beautiful focal point again—without real flame, heat, or smoke. Download the LightBurn project or free .svg files from the full build tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/glowing-fireplace-insert-with-edge-lit-acrylic-and-wled/overview The full build guide includes the design files, material list, assembly steps, wiring information, and WLED setup.
