Make a Glowing, Wearable, EL-Wire, Blinky Light Using Open Source Tools
DIY project describes how I turned a piece of schwag from the Dark Side, a corporate-logo backpack, into a blinking, glowing beacon of open source supremacy. You'll learn how to use electroluminescent (EL) wire, program and burn a PIC microcontroller, and build your own printed circuit board PCB)--all using exclusively open source tools.
