This jacket shows 3D Printer status #WearableWednesday
by Stephanie
Great project from sallyhall on Instructables:
This jacket has 40 neopixels sewn to the back to display the status of the 40 3D Printers in Duke’s Innovation Co-Lab Studio. Each light corresponds to one printer and is either blue (in use), green (available), or red (offline) to show the real-time status of the printer. The printer status is retrieved via Duke’s Innovation Co-Lab’s 3D printer status API, documented here: http://ift.tt/2rtbgYh.
