Use one of the project’s option (carnival masks or tech nails).
Personalize it with your project: change/add electronics
Improve the design: change the colors, add some crystals or other 3D elements.
Presentation: explain your motivation and how you personalized your project .
I don’t like wear things in my skin because it is very sensitive, so I decided to make my own DIY crown.

Our Board is Gemma V2
Half of the pads on the Gemma are related to power in and out: 3Vo , Vout and GND
I installed the Gemma Board following these steps in the Adafruit Arduino IDE setup guide to easily install a pre-configured Arduino IDE to program Gemma!
Blink!
After the instalation, is very useful to upload the blink code to the board and see that your PC is talking to your board. I followed this tutorial from Adafruit
And whe it all was done, I uploaded the code for the 3 neopixels. The code is available here
#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h> #define NUM_LEDS 3 // Number of NeoPixels: 3 in my case #define PIN 1 // DIGITAL pin # where NeoPixels are connected // IMPORTANT: Avoid connecting on a live circuit... // if you must, connect GND first. Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(NUM_LEDS, PIN); void setup() { strip.begin(); strip.setBrightness(50); // 100/255 brightness (about 40%) strip.show(); // Initialize all pixels to 'off' } void loop() { for(int j=0; j<256; j++) { for(int i=0; i<NUM_LEDS; i++) { strip.setPixelColor(i, Wheel((i * 8 + j) & 255)); } strip.show(); delay(40); } } // Input a value 0 to 255 to get a color value. // The colours are a transition r - g - b - back to r. uint32_t Wheel(byte WheelPos) { if(WheelPos <85) { return strip.Color(WheelPos * 3, 255 - WheelPos * 3, 0); } else if(WheelPos <170) { WheelPos -= 85; return strip.Color(255 - WheelPos * 3, 0, WheelPos * 3); } else { WheelPos -= 170; return strip.Color(0, WheelPos * 3, 255 - WheelPos * 3); } }
