It's to make a fist pumping LED controller. What is it? Have you noticed yourself fist pumping to the music at a party or a club? That's exactly for that. You would wear a band with a accelerometer/gyro mounted. As you move your hand around the air, the movement will trigger a light board and create different LED patterns based on the position of your hand. This will be a fun project.

Thank you. We are still making modifications to the project. We are rewiring the LED's with ribbon cables. The LED and circuits eventually going to be enclosed in a box. Tune in!
