We just received a limited number of the long-awaited Adafruit Flora in the Maker Shed! This versatile e-textiles platform enables you to make “smart” clothing other stitch-able projects that can interact with their environment. The Flora comes in a starter pack so you can get up and running with projects right out of the box.

The kit includes the Flora motherboard, GPS module, 8 addressable full color LEDs, components to make your own wearable TV-B-Gone, 2 thicknesses of conductive thread, needles, gator clips for prototyping, USB cable, batteries, and battery holder.
This really makes me want to create a speed sensitive jacket to wear while night skiing. I’m not sure what color to use for crash though…










Wouldn’t the answer to your “crash” question be red?
I was thinking about red, but then what color would it I use I’m careening full speed down the mountain?
