We were inspired by the Disney MagicBand+ to build a pair of wearable mouse ears that light up in response to the same Bluetooth Low Energy broadcasts that drive the bands at the parks.

The ears listen for Disney's manufacturer advertisements and react in real time. When a MagicBand+ light command is sent, a Starlight Bubble Wand cast, or a Fab 50 statue beacon is detected nearby, the ears animate to match what's happening around them - including the fireworks at Magic Kingdom and Epcot.

This means you can use Disney products like the bubble wands to cast colors to our custom NeoPixel projects. 

The wearable headbands are powered by a QT Py ESP32-S3 and a Lipo BFF, while a remote runs on the Adafruit CLUE.

We think this project could be adapted for accessibility projects like mobile scooters, wheelchairs or even strollers. We have a special "Find Me" beacon mode that could help you spot your accessible vehicles in dark and crowded areas.

There are two separate projects that run CircuitPython code. The Adafruit CLUE acts as a BLE remote that pulls from a list of commands that was captured from the Disney theme parks and ties them to LED animations. The TFT display on the CLUE shows a menu of animations to choose from and can send BLE commands to trigger the LEDs on Disney MagicBands and accessories.
