# Light-Up Angler Fish Embroidery ## Overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWDrLOOkyaQ ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/008/530/medium800/flora_becky-stern-risa-rose-angler-fish-shorts.jpg?1396867507) This is a very simple FLORA project with no soldering-- a single NeoPixel lights up on an embroidered angler fish on a pair of shorts. The main board is stitched on the front of the design, in the belly of the fish. A snap is used on the fin as a digital switch, triggering a color change in the pixel in the angler's lure. Follow the circuit diagram to stitch up this circuit, and tuck the battery in the pocket. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/008/469/medium800/flora_*DSC_0409_rbr.jpg?1396866094) Project created with assistance from Risa Rose, photos on this page by Collin Cunningham - [Next Page](https://learn.adafruit.com/light-up-angler-fish-embroidery/tools-and-supplies.md) ## Featured Products ### FLORA - Wearable electronic platform: Arduino-compatible [FLORA - Wearable electronic platform: Arduino-compatible](https://www.adafruit.com/product/659) FLORA is Adafruit's fully-featured wearable electronics platform.
