I also wanted to work with Neopixels but I had troubles finding them on the library as my version of Arduino Uno was 2.0.3 so I think that is why it did not work. I ended up using a led because I didn't have much time, and the result with the bioplastic was still satisfying.
I had worked at a museum the whole week so I didnt manage to get everything and then I was sick, but I still enjoyed mixing Wearables and Biomaterials and I am willing to continue experimenting for my project.
I was also interested in the Matrice because I have been using a microcontroller for a performance I’m doing, and it was a way to explore it differently. In my performance, a fabric I wove has metallic threads woven in it, that are connected to a microcontroller called Playtronica. This microcontroller reacts to touch and I connected it to Processing and Ableton. I made it generate visual symbols of mine and sounds, when you touch the fabric. I want to see how I could connect my processing code with the Arduino Uno, or maybe use a Rasberry Py in order to stock all the informations without having to have a computer in the performance.
During this week, I was also interested in the different sounds that can be generated live, the reaction to sensors and lights.
