Maker builds flexible LED 'neon' t-shirt
Original: Show HN: Making a flexible "neon" t-shirt with LED filaments
An engineer has built a t-shirt that mimics the look of neon signage using flexible LED filaments sewn into fabric. The project write-up covers the electronics and construction process, and the maker-as-a-showcase format is drawing attention from the hardware hobbyist community. Commenters are reacting to the wearables engineering challenge and the detailed documentation of how it was made.
Why now: Show HN projects with unusual DIY engineering and full write-ups reliably attract attention from the maker and hardware communities.
