It's Lit - ProjX Spring 2017 [ft. Aditi]
We made cool af light-up shoes, just for the kicks!
This was a ProjX project done with Aditi Srinivasan during freshman spring (2017) at MIT. The shoes contain a resistive material in the sole that restricts current flow when pressure is applied. We used an Adafruit Flora to look for rapid changes in current (aka a step) in order to trigger a lighting event. Neopixels were superglued to the soles of the shoes.
