A fun project, built by Zarino and Jackie, for Batala Mersey’s 2018 Light Night performance, in collaboration with Brouhaha.
12 drummers, wearing a special costume laced with neopixel lights. A microbit attached to the underside of each drum picks up the vibrations caused by hitting the drum, and sends a message to a second microbit attached to the lights, which turns the lights on and off in time with the drumming.
Hardware instructions – How to put together the neopixel strips, battery boxes, and connecting wires.
Software instructions – How to write, compile, and deploy software for the microbits.
