# LED Glasses Custom Animated Graphics with Sprites

## Overview

https://youtu.be/Z78n7tFIWko

Create custom pixel graphics for your LED Glasses and show off your style. These attention-getting glasses are so much fun to customize and to wear. The build is super easy - just plug the controller board into the glasses, attach the frames, and you're ready to upload your custom eye graphics.

This tutorial will show how to create simple animated pixel art icons (sprites) and upload them to your glasses. This is a great project for kids or folks who are interested in learning to code. We've done most of the heavy lifting, so you can do the fun part: making those glasses your own.
