Summary

In this chapter, we have developed our skills of using sewable LEDs further, and also incorporated them with a printed design on our garment. You have also learned how to connect to Twitter using Python and make our programs react to different phrases or hashtags found on Twitter. Finally, you learned how to connect our Pi Zero to different Wi-Fi networks using the priority keyword in our wpa_supplicant file. This final step allows us to now take our wearable projects out and about with us when they need an Internet connection.

In our next project, we will be making a LED laptop bag. We will make use of a RGB addressable LED strip to create a matrix of programmable LEDs across the front of our bag. We will then create the necessary electronic circuits to control these with our Pi Zero and also write our Python program to control our LED bag design.
