I have made this RGB LED tie. One of my friends and me had the idea at 2 am and now it has come to reality :D

It runs on an Arduino nano, 8 rgb leds and is powered by a 9V battery.

I have prom tomorrow ('abschlussball' in german) I probably won't wear it during the official part but definitely at the party after prom.

The current animation is a bit too fast (I was listening to hardstyle while coding it) for the music they will play tomorrow at the party so I still have to make a slower one.

Tell me what you think about it :P

    Awesome!! If you still have time it could be cool to get sound input and match the music:)

    That's pretty damn cool! :)

    (The only thing that'd irritate me personally would be the cable management for the battery cables. You could put some shrinking tube over them to keep them closer together.
    Also, Congratulations on having finished school. :) )

    @nin0x03 thank you :) I have used laces to bring the cables closer together

    Sadly I haven't finished school yet, still 2 years left. I don't understand why we have prom now and not when we actually have finished school

    @404response Have you considered conductive threads? Not the most practical but seamless.

    You gonna be the life of the party. Let us hope that nobody thinks that you are a printer repairman.

    You should have it show how much energy you have left in the day before you need to sleep.

    @dder why do I have to laugh? :D

    @404response Did kinda the same thing multiple times. Doing stuff while listening to hardstyle (see 'kopfkrank Synapsen terror' at YouTube) make things sooo fucking faster :D
    I normally do not listen to music like this, but sometimes ... :P

    If you want chicks to blow your way add a breathalyzer and indicate how waisted they are with LEDs on the tie 😎

    @HalfBloodPrince I was hoping you were german. Geil means horney in Dutch.

    @MisterArie well, if you translate the word geil it also means horney in german but germans kind of use it instead of amazing or awesome for pretty much everything :)

    You should wear a tuxedo shirt and replace the buttons with LEDs

    I have to this something like this (probably with EGB led strips and like 1/4 of the leds)

    Starting to learn Arduino :p Good to see I'm not the only one arround here who's interested
