[Henner] has discussed each one of the source code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD writings to produce the 3D imprinted enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that manages the series. The LED array itself is in fact a spin-off of his Glowxels project, which is worth visiting if you want to recreate this concept on a much larger incrustation.This isn’t the very first time our team’ve observed this technique utilized for this example, but it may be the best portable model of the concept our team’ve viewed thus far.
