Story

Are you a fashion trend-setter? Do you like to know how other’s feel about your clothing choices? Don’t want to look at your phone to know when your style owns the room, or worse, you’ve made a fashion faux pas on the level of socks with sandals?

Introduction “Green Light: Fashion“, the first wearable that provides an easy way for you to get immediate feedback on your ensemble and keep you ahead of the fashion curve.

How does it work/What does it do?

Your friends use the QR Code to vote on your outfit you are wearing that day.

The more positive the feedback the more GREEN you get on your wearable.

Schematics

Code

//For Wifi
#include <SPI.h> 
#include <WiFi101.h>

//For NeoPixel
#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
#define PIN 3

// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip
// Parameter 2 = pin number (most are valid)
// Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed:
//   NEO_KHZ800  800 KHz bitstream (most NeoPixel products w/WS2812 LEDs)
//   NEO_KHZ400  400 KHz (classic 'v1' (not v2) FLORA pixels, WS2811 drivers)
//   NEO_GRB     Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream (most NeoPixel products)
//   NEO_RGB     Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream (v1 FLORA pixels, not v2)
Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(16, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
