Velleman Kits & Projects

It's time to get creative with LED's thanks to the BrightDot wearable collection!BrightDots are small and wearable modules with one or more LED's that need to be controlled by an Arduino compatible development board.The entire collection includes a series of diverse modules with addressable RGB LED's that can be controlled individually. We also developed a unique Arduino compatible VMW101: ESP32 Wearable Development Board that you can use to create something bright & wearable that's also smart.This set includes two small Brightdot circles. Each PCB is super thin and includes gold plated contacts with 6 sewing holes of 1.22mm. Also, all models have backup lines to ensure that one broken LED does not affect the others.Every LED is controlled by 3 wires (power, ground & data) and can be connected via these wires to the next LED, creating a big string of LED's. You can solder these LED's in electric circuits, or sew them into clothing, onto backpacks, onto shoes etc.

Are you planning to connect your BrightDots by sewing them? Great! Because this kit includes everything you need to get started, conductive sewing thread, 20 different sewing needles, and thread fixator. Why choose sewing instead of soldering? Sewing the BrightDots onto the fabric ensures that your clothing or accessory stays flexible which makes it ideal if you are using thin fabrics for your project. However, sewing is a precise job so make sure that your sewing skills are on point and that you use the thread fixator to keep loose threads from creating a short circuit. The conductive sewing thread that is included in this set has been selected by our engineers and tested by our community to ensure a good connection and a positive experience while sewing.
