Hannah’s finished firewalker shoes using the Adafruit Flora (round) microcontroller. It’s meant to be sewn on things. Hey, they turned out way better than we expected when they where gluing them, I will tell you that!! (Can I get a witness, Cor?) See the previous post for the sewing and gluing session that happened the day before.
Here is a video of them in action.. The LED’s on the perimeter are individually addressable, and move a animation from the back to the front at each step. Sorry for the cruddy i-video.. Iphone is all I got.
Here is a picture of Hannah’s third rose from two days ago… It is the best yet. practice makes perfect, what do you know.

Cori and Edo are here visiting! We like their company. We have gone to the clubhou.se a couple times, and we have eaten out, and we have made something in the forge: One more time.. Copper Roses!, They are so satisfying to make, even for beginners, that it makes it fun with out trying. We worked on these Wednesday. Here is Cori is hammering out the copper to make it flat. Edo is marking where he will cut with the plasma torch.
Here is Cori, cutting out her patterns with the plasma cutter!
Cori, Brazing the petals onto the stem.
Lets take a break and feed the chickens while everything cools off. (OK, I’m making things up now.)
Edo getting artistic on us.. you can tell by his expression.
Cori and her friend Amber made some roses too! I think this is rose number 3 for Hannah.
Definitely perfecting the petal shaping process.
ANNNND, somehow, I don’t have pictures of he finished products! I will make sure to get a picture before they leave.
Last night, while Edo and I sort of “jammed” (I played two chords on the banjo, and Ed played things around those two chords that made it actually sound like music.. very satisfying) Cori was helping Hannah create her “firewalker” shoes. They are going to be awesome! Here they are sewing the Flora microcontroller circuit board onto the shoes. I have to admit, we where all ready to hurt someone after trying to glue the LED strips onto the side of the shoes…. OMG.
Oh.. Cori fed the chickens too…
🙂
