Final Documentation

Below is the final documentation of my finished project. Even though I would have liked to have a finished product that was controlled by an accelerometer and had more noticeable changes in brightness, I am satisfied with the amount I learned. This project allowed me to refresh my knowledge of circuits and coding and to learn more about components that I had no knowledge of prior. I also believe that I could have achieved something closer to my original vision if I had been willing to invest more money in getting better materials such as LEDs instead of EL wire or a third accelerometer. That being said, I may invest that money and time in the future to fulfill my vision once I have more of both resources. I do like the look of the EL wire on the garment and may add more and just utilize the battery packs.
