Modular 3-pin JST connector used.
Connects to harness/collar at specific input points.

Switching on, the LEDs will flash green and start in static FFT mode.

Press the button to switch modes.
Hold the button until the LEDs flash Red to lock.

*600+ LEDs at 1/8 brightness
**6+ hours tested with 300 LED test array

Dynamic sensitivity adjustment keeps all frequency ranges responsive regardless of music style or volume level.

FFT video of the X as a treat!

Gotta sew these up and run full battery life tests!

Side note:

Pre-orders will open MFF weekend for payment and processing to begin in January.
(Tax stuff)

Still need to process a few personal/gift builds for photos on the form and measuring guidelines/diagrams.

Want to make your own? Check the pin post. I've made everything open source.

Modes!
FFT Random - LED location chosen randomly when frequency is triggered.
FFT static - Frequency spectrum analyzer
Fade - Fades through the 8 colors in the spectrum.
Rainbow - rainbow scrolls across the length.
Streak - streaks of colors go up and down before switching to the next colors

Next up is full assembly!

Strips are inserted into pre-cut, pre-sized 1.5" tubular nylon webbing.
( Had to custom order :P )

Arranged and pinned around the metal hardware.
( Re-measured for accuracy to provided specifications )

And finally stitched with a clean 'satin' style stitching.

LED strips then get inserted into a diffuser silicone strip for extra protection, reinforcement, and to add some resistance to moisture.

These are sealed at both ends with hot glue and/or silicone.

Once that's all wired, sealed, and dried, I run a full electrical test in all controller modes.

While we're here, a build overview!

Each LED strip is cut to size and joints soldered for reinforcement.

Wire layout is soldered on with input connectors for daisy chaining a collar and/or a leash or just connecting the controller at a different spot.

3 here for 'Standard' style.
