Cheapduino Wearable Nightlight
Developed by Daniel Flood 2017.
Summary
Workshop has been designed for the BrisMakerFest 2017 for delivery as a part of the program., to cover off on out wearables commitment. The unit price is cheap and based on older work and other people basic ideas. It might be easily modified to take other sensors and do other things but for the moment we're keeping it simple.
It was inspired by this project in Make Magazine that did it with a full sized Arduino.
Activity Summary
Participants will assemble and get to know how to code a wearable nightlight comprising of a Cheapduino, Light Dependent Resistor (LDR), LED and some resistors. There's a battery at the moment but once we get a super-capacitor battery in place we will swap it out. Odds are we will use some magnets to get them to pin to people's shirts.
