Get going with FLORA, the inexpensive wearable computing platform. Learn to sew with electronics, build circuits, and program the Arduino-compatible wearable band!
Add some flair to your wardrobe with FLORA!
Getting Started with Adafruit Flora introduces readers to building wearable electronics projects using Adafruit's tiny FLORA board: at 4.4 grams, and only 1.75 inches in diameter, and featuring Arduino compatibility, it's the most beginner-friendly way to create wearable projects.
This book is the definitive introduction to Adafruit's FLORA wearable computing platform, written by their Director of Wearable Electronics (Becky Stern) and their Creative Engineer (Tyler Cooper).
You'll learn how to plan your wearable circuits, sew with electronics, and write programs that run on the FLORA to control the electronics. The FLORA family includes an assortment of sensors, as well as RGB LEDs that let you add lighting to your wearable projects. Make LED brooches, light-up earrings, and color-sensor powered accessories that changes color to match or complement other clothes you're wearing. Your only limit? Just how much you want to shine!
