Glow-Up your Festival Coat - DIY Tutorial with WLED - Glowing Fur Jacket

Glow-Up your Festival Coat - DIY Tutorial with WLED - Glowing Fur Jacket

Author: Adafruit Industries August 19, 2026 Duration: 1:06
Glow up your festival coat with programmable LEDs! ✨ In this DIY wearable tech tutorial, we’ll show you how to add addressable LED lighting to a faux-fur festival coat and control it wirelessly with WLED - a free, open source LED control program. The lights are sound reactive, smartphone controlled, and completely customizable — with tons of colors, animations, and effects to choose from. This project is beginner-friendly and requires no coding. Set up different lighting zones so the cuffs and fur trim can run their own effects, giving the coat a much more dynamic look than a single LED strip. Perfect for Burning Man, EDM festivals, concerts, costumes, nighttime events, or anywhere you want to be a little more visible — and a lot more glowy. ✨ In this project: • Smartphone-controlled LEDs • Sound-reactive effects • Multiple lighting zones • Custom colors and animations • WLED control • No coding required • Beginner-friendly wearable electronics Full step-by-step tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/glow-up-your-festival-coat-with-wled/overview #LEDs #WearableTech #FestivalFashion #WLED #DIYFashion #LEDClothing #BurningMan #FestivalOutfit #Adafruit #Maker Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ -----------------------------------------

Tune into Adafruit Industries for a direct line to the workbench. This isn't a polished lecture series; it's the sound of making things happen, coming straight from the company's factory floor in New York City. You'll hear the real-world process of bringing do-it-yourself electronics to life, with all its experimentation and discovery. Each episode is a deep dive into practical, open-source projects that demystify technology and empower you to build your own. The conversations and demonstrations focus on turning concepts into tangible creations you can actually make at home, stripping away the intimidation factor of hardware and coding. Hosted by the team at Adafruit Industries, this educational podcast serves as an audio companion to their extensive video library, offering context, stories, and insights behind the builds. It's for anyone with a curiosity about how their gadgets work and a desire to roll up their sleeves and learn by doing. Expect a friendly, inclusive, and hands-on approach to electronics education that feels more like a collaborative workshop than a formal class.
