I put neopixel LEDs on my ice skate. Every time the microphone, which is connected with the Arduino board, hears any noisy sound. It sends a various signals to LEDs. It is easy to make, even for beginners. I shared codes and instructions. Let’s try it together!

[About the Maker]

Select a waterproof product. There are many options to select it. Waterproof is better than a regular LED, but it could be more expensive. This project will be outside, particularly the icy environment. I highly recommend a waterproof version.

Solder the Circuit Like This

Mic Sensor - D2

Neopixel - D3

Glue It for Water Resistance

Hot melt glue is always good at insulating. It prevents the parts from wetting(even though it looks not beautiful)

Attach It Onto Your Ice Skate

You can attach it by using hot melt but it turned out that it is not strong sticky especially under cold weather. I think I need to find more effective way.

Field Test and Play!

If you don’t want to make by yourselves, you can buy this product. But it is not be customized.
