Light up your DIY LED jacket: arcade effects, bike signals, music and heartbeat.
Arcade Jacket is the remote for a DIY LED jacket: addressable LED strips sewn along the front and down the sleeves, driven by a small Gledopto ESP32 LED controller running the free, open-source LEDLINK firmware. It finds the controller over Bluetooth by itself, no pairing. No jacket yet? The app runs a live on-screen preview, so you can try every look first.
ARCADE
LED effects from Pixelcade's arcade marquees: one for each of 45 classic consoles and 44 arcade-style games, A-Z, with a search.
THEMES AND HOLIDAYS
Light Cycle, Cyberpunk, Code Rain, Synthwave, Fire, Aurora, Ocean and more, plus Christmas, New Year fireworks, Valentine's, St Patrick's, July 4th, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Pride. Solid, Breathe, Sparkle and Comet in any colour you pick.
BIKE
Left, right and hazard turn signals that sweep down that side like a car's, a hold-to-brake button, and an automatic brake light that turns the jacket red when GPS says you're slowing down. Wear it as well as proper bike lights, never instead of them.
LIVE
A music visualizer from the phone's microphone (nothing is recorded), and a heartbeat that pulses at your heart rate from a Bluetooth heart-rate sensor: a Fitbit Charge 6 or Pixel Watch with heart-rate sharing on, or a Polar, Wahoo or Garmin strap.
SETTINGS
Tell the controller how your strips are laid out -- zones, which parts are lit and which stay dark -- and check it with test patterns.
Requires: a Gledopto ESP32 LED controller with the LEDLINK firmware (free; web installer and build guide at alinke.github.io/rogue-ai-costume) and WS2811/WS2812B LED strips. A controller running WLED won't connect.
