## LED Hoops
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### What?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First, a blog post by [mitxela](https://mitxela.com) came upon my eyes, and piqued my interest.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Inspired by the [industrial piercing](https://mitxela.com/projects/scaffold) and the electronics that went into it, I though if other pieces of jewelry can be made with electronics (they can, it was specifically a question if my measly hands could craft them).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since for the first time, I didn't want to experiment with absolute microscopic sizes, I decided that a 4 cm hoop was an adequate project to attempt.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An Attiny 24/44/84A can be used, I went with a -M variant, since it is slightly larger then the -MM variant, by a whole mm, which I assume will be easier to solder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Placing them all in a nice hoop looking pcb, we obtain this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The test version comes with ISP pins for debugging and programming the chip when it's already installed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
0603 LED's were chosen for the same reason, they are small enough to be not that noticeable, but large enough to be not an incredible pain to work with.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Why??
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It looked and sounded fun, my only previous projects related to PCB production before this was edition a split [Sweep](https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/Sweep) keyboard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And so I did.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Cool. What now?
|
||
|

|
You can take your chance and go to [the git repository](https://git.technoduck.me/technoduck/led_hoop) for the project, `git pull`, and try your own luck.
