Plush Game Controller
Capacitive touch sensing with conductive fabric & Flora
Build a classic game controller with Flora! The microcontroller's native USB support allows it to act like a keyboard, and conductive fabric makes great capacitive touch sensors-- add them up for a oversize plush toy controller that actually works!
LED Ampli-Tie
Wearable VU meter necktie with Flora
Make your necktie light up like a VU meter! This Flora project uses the Electret Microphone Amplifier to trigger 16 Flora NeoPixels sewn with conductive thread along the length of the tie.
Flora Lux Sensor
Wearable luminosity sensing!
Add light-reactive sensing to your wearable Flora project with this high precision Lux sensor!
Flora Brake Light Backpack
Pixel-riffic motorcycle visibility
Improve your visibility on your motorcycle by installing an LED pixel display inside your backpack! This weather-resistant project uses a Flora and accelerometer to auto-detect braking and uses a simple wireless module to trigger turn signal animations.
Flora Accelerometer
Wearable 3-axis motion + compass
Add motion and direction sensing to your wearable Flora project with this high precision 3-axis Accelerometer+Compass sensor. Inside are two sensors, one is a classic 3-axis accelerometer, which can tell you which direction is down towards the Earth (by measuring gravity) or how fast the board is accelerating in 3D space. The other is a magnetometer that can sense where the strongest magnetic force is coming from, generally used to detect magnetic north. By combining this data you can then orient yourself.
Wearable Piezo Tones with Flora
Make your clothes play a song
It's super easy and quick to make this Flora wearable music maker! Learn to activate a piezo transducer to play tones of different frequencies, then attach it to your clothes.
Capacitive Touch with Conductive Fabric & Flora
Soft, wearable touch sensing!
Learn to hook up some pads of conductive fabric to Flora as capacitive touch pads using the Capsense library for Arduino.
Flora GPS Jacket
Location-aware outerwear
Modify your coat to sense your location with Flora! Whether acting like a beacon to your favorite coffee shop or a warning to help enforce your restraining order, this jacket lights up when it gets within range of GPS coordinates set by you.

USB NeXT Keyboard with an Arduino Micro
Get out your 10 lb keyboards!
Ladyada and pt had an old NeXT keyboard with a strong desire to get it running on a modern computer. These keyboards are durable, super clicky, and very satisfying to use! We spent a few days and with a little research we got it working perfectly using an Arduino Micro as the go between. Now this lovely black deck works like any other USB keyboard. Sure it weighs more than our Macbook, but its worth it!
