I’m very happy with how these boxes for the Amoracci pendant turned out.

Luminescent Artist Palette Earrings: Wearable LED Color Sculptures - Rechargeable

I am designing a matching pendant on the left side for the Fibonacci earrings on the right. The pendant is using PWM outputs to the LEDs, allowing a much smoother animation. You can clearly see the "frames" on right side, while the left has a much smoother transition for the same pattern and speed.

The art palette earrings now use a supercapacitor instead of coin cell batteries.
They are designed with two components: main board and "face plate". A recent prototype with a ceramic face plate turned out well. I'm leaning towards using a PCB for the front due to its practicality and durability.

I made these GlowCaps! They let you easily add RGB LEDs to things like candle holders or light up your fursuit. They're powered by a supercapacitor, so they charge in just minutes and can run for hours or even days.

Exploring the interplay of love and mathematics, especially in the spirit of February, the month of Valentines, the Amoracci pendant is a visual meditation on the beauty of these interconnected concepts. Its design is inspired by the Fibonacci sequence. #Fibonacci #JewelryDesign #Love #Mathematics

These Fibonacci earrings are a little bit different. These have ultra-bright LEDs, each enhanced with a focused lens.
The earrings have 104 LEDs per side, which can be programmed to display a variety of patterns, brightness and speed.

How much charge does a 15F Hybrid supercapacitor actual hold? Here is a graph of data taken with the NRF Power Profiler that shows that the charge in this 15F capacitor was 15.2c from 3.8V down to 2.8V, which exceeds the specifications.

Happy New Year everyone!

This design utilizes 18 RGB LEDs, controlled directly by the microcontroller's PWM outputs. Since these are non-addressable LEDs I had to connect each LED to the microcontroller. The actual traces connecting each LED form the structure of the tree itself.

My journey with wearable electronics began with these small red LED spiral earrings – 12 LEDs, a microcontroller, and a coin cell battery. Today, I'm pushing the boundaries with designs featuring up to 104 LEDs, still powered by a microcontroller, but now utilizing a supercapacitor instead.

Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) are a special kind of supercapacitor. Typically, they have a voltage limit of 3.8V, but recently, I discovered a new type that can handle up to 4.2V! This voltage increase can significantly boost their energy storage capacity by tripling it.

The subdued glow of the purple/UV LEDs on these Fibonacci tech earrings lends a touch of magic, transforming the environment into a dreamlike realm.

Do LEDs really need current-limiting resistors?

My rechargeable Fibonacci earrings with supercapacitors remain one of my biggest accomplishments. It's a project that truly combined my love for math, technology, and design. Fully charged in a couple of minutes and run times up to 20 hours from a single charge.

For the first LED wearable with a supercapacitor, I incorporated a 20F, 3.8V max LIC supercapacitor into my design.
By meticulously optimizing the code that controls the LEDs, I managed to achieve an incredible 30 hours of continuous illumination on a single charge!

Heard of this 'X' thing... never gave it a chance. Hoping Bluesky is more my speed. I'm Sander and I make light up wearables.
