Super Brite LED Sneakers 1.0

Step 19Finalize and Test

Finalize and Test
Firmly press the finished velcro strips onto the sneakers.  Gently bend any LEDs that are not lined up neatly.

Arm Band for your Ankle
Put on the iPod Nano arm band (on your ankle) and see how it fits.  I trimmed the straps and added velcro for a custom fit.

Fire 'em up
Connect up all components to the RBBB and insert it into the pouch.  Power both units up.  You will see the fade up/down pattern.  Start getting a feel for how to change programs by bringing your feel close together.  Make sure to align each magnet with each Reed Sensor.  It may take a little practice to learn how to change programs.  Make adjustments to the magnets and/or Reed Sensor locations as needed.

Enjoy!
Because these are super bright LEDs, these babies look incredible in the dark and are especially eye-catching outside at night.  With the modular design, you can use them on more than one pair of sneakers (just attach more loop velcro to your other sneakers) or for other wearable projects.  Have fun!
