My friend John Baichtal has a new project book out called 10 LED Projects for Geeks: Build Light-Up Costumes, Sci-Fi Gadgets, and Other Clever Inventions. John is an excellent teacher and his book will guide you on your way to making fun light-up projects and sharpen your maker skills, including how to:
- Design versatile circuits for your own needs
- Build and print a custom printed circuit board
- Create flexible circuits which you can use to make any wearable you dream up
- Turn analog signal into digital data your microcontroller can read
- Use gesture recognition and wireless interaction for your own Internet of Things projects
- Experiment with copper tape and create circuits with paper and foi
- Build "smart" gadgets that make decisions with sensors
