Connections

The circuit diagram above shows how the components will be wired together. This won't be 100% exact in the actual circuit but it's a very close approximation. Please note the buttons connected to the capacitive touch sensor do not have to be buttons. They can be any piece of electrically conductive material.

  • Slide Switch to GND and EN pins on Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE
  • VCC from NeoPixel to 3V on Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE
  • GND from NeoPixel to GND on Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE
  • Data In from NeoPixel to #6 on Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE
  • SCL from MPR121 to SCL on Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE
  • SDA from MPR121 to SDA on Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE
  • IRQ from MPR121 to A4 on Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE
  • GND from MPR121 to GND on Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE
  • VIN from MPR121 to 3V on Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE
  • 0-5 on MPR121 to Touch Pads

Battery Power

The circuit will be powered by a 3.7V 2500mAh Lithium ion battery via JST connection. The battery plugs directly into the Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE, which allows had a built-in charging circuit so you can recharge the lipo battery over the microUSB port.
