This polka-dot dress lights up when I dance! ✨

I added 216 individually addressable NeoPixel LEDs, with one light hidden behind each polka dot. A motion sensor makes the dress flare up when I move!

The whole system is powered by an Adafruit RP2040 Prop-Maker Feather running CircuitPython. It’s wearable, rechargeable, and programmed with multiple animation levels so the lights respond differently as the movement intensifies.
