Step 5Connect power
So now you can see the top side of the tiles. I have simply put black duct tape around the outside sides to cover the wires and make it look better.
As an aside, you can see the 4 screws (countersunk) holding the toe pillar and the 2 screws holding the heel pillar.
I now used 2 x 3.5mm mono headphone-type sockets, with approx 30 cm of wire as a power connector. They emerge from the top of the tile through a hole, close to where the shoes will be, on the inside side of your feet.
You place a battery box in your trouser pocket, and then run a cable down each trouser leg with a 3.5mm mono headphone-type plug at the bottom.
I ended up tucking the connected connecters into my socks, this worked great.
Once you have got everything working and checked, HOT GLUE EVERYTHING. Use hot glue to fix the LEDs in place, on all the wires, etc.
