Sorry it’s been so long without an update.
I’ve got a few Adafruit projects in the pipeline that should be announced sometime in the future. I do not like to perpetuate vaporware, so I will not be going into any more detail.
Last weekend was Global Dance Festival. First night left me feeling really disappointed in the audience. Too many drugs and not enough dancing; too many consumers, not enough contributors. The second night was really great. Got to hang out with a decent set of folks that helped each-other keep their dancing spots from the MDMA-brain-pickled pretty lights watchers that just wanted to stand around. I think BT should have gone after the local DJ Dragon, as I missed part of BT’s set before I came in. You’d think the head DJ of Triad Dragons would be kind to a fellow, guest DJ and warm up the crowd for BT.
Well, after GDF, I feel inspired to make an LED suit that would process foot position (ball, heel, flat, and none), sound, and maybe thumb-finger contact. The default, sound-visualizing mode would pulse from toe to head to heel like Clarke and Lee’s Octospiders. I’m thinking this suit would have at least one RGB led per square inch with more at the fingers. This is probably a ways off, as I do not have the resources to pull it off.
