Overview
Wearable Frame
3D print a pair of frames for your Adafruit LED Glasses. Designed to fit any Feather compatible board! Use a STEMMA QT cable to easily connect to an Adafruit Feather.
3D Printed
The parts are secured using hardware screws and nuts. The frames feature built-in nose pads for comfort and a better fit. The arms are attached to the frames built-in hinges using hardware screws and nuts.
LED Glasses Driver nRF52840
This particular arm is designed for the LED Glasses driver board featuring the nRF52840. Use M2 x 8mm long screws and hex nuts to secure to the 3d printed arm.
Feather-Compatible
The left-arm features mounting holes sized for any Feather-compatible board like the Feather RP2040. Use a USB-C cable and a 5V battery pack for portability.
