This week I finished soldering the accelerometer and the neopixel strip to the lilypad. I have been working on coding. I have been recording numbers from the accelerometer and have tried out different code with the neopixels.

I have been working on combining the accelerometer and neopixel code and have been struggling. However, I hope to finish up the coding part so that I could waterproof and then connect the neopixel and lilypad to the rash guard. After talking with a student who previously took this course who created a waterproof accelerometer/led project, I decided to hold off on connecting the lilypad to the rash guard until the coding is complete and then the waterproofing is completed.

This week I will be working on the coding and on coming up with more ideas for the 3D printed piece that will cover the lilypad.
