Re: Wearable "Fashon" (um, yeah...)

I would also limit the groups of chasing or flashing to a very small
number. imagine the number of tiny led's you will have, now imagine a tiny
thread for each and every one of them for the Vcc, then imagine the size of
the logic decoder.  If you keep it to 8 discreet outputs and group them,
then the hardware to wearable interface is easy. I do envision this being a
one time use with how delicate conductive thread is, break one thread and
you lose every led on that output from there down.  

I'd use electro luminescent paint..  but then some people cringe at the
thought of 2kV on their body.
