IALEDPants v0.1b: WS2801 + Arduino

Here is the demo of my new WS2801 individually addressable RGB LED pants. The pants are lined with WS2801 RGB LED strips. The strips are controlled by an Arduino and powered by 4 AA batteries. I wanted to create this video quick before I add some additional features. I plan to add a microphone to code them to be noise active as well as add a pot to control the intensity of the LEDs.

iPad In dash Dock Prototype Test Video

Here is the prototype demo of the iPad in dash dock for my Toyota Tacoma. I am using a TomTom Bluetooth GPS receiver along with the Navigon app to provide the navigation. DashCommand is the ODB-II app the connects to a bluetooth ODB-II Transceiver plugged in to the Tacoma. The Music visualization app is called Rabbit Hole by Feldspar, I really enjoy the app but because it uses the internal mic it cases the audio to skip for a few milliseconds when open and closing the app. Once it gets a little bit nicer out I plan to redesign the dock. I want to permanently mount the iPad and create a channel for the front facing camera. check back soon to see more progress on my iPad In Dash Dock.
