Howdy, sorry if this isn't the place for this, but I'm really new to this, and would like some help. I've found some code that should work for what I'm working for, but I'm stumped when it comes to putting it all together.
Overview:
I'm looking to create a circuit for a Halloween costume, where a set of two flex sensors will be set inside fingers of a glove, a single adafruit pixel ring set inside the palm, and a sound system hidden in a set of robes. Unflexing both fingers of one of the gloves will turn the corresponding glove LED ring to fade in and flicker, as well as an audio file to play. A similar idea would be what people have built for Iron Man costumes for the hand repulsors.
Materials:
1x Arduino Uno R3
4x 2" Flex Sensors
2x Adafruit Neo Pixel Rings 12 LEDs
1x Adafruit "Music Maker" MP3 Shield for Arduino w/3W Stereo Amp
Reference Matieral:
I've found the following tutorials that provide part of what I'm looking for, at least in terms of code.
Fade LED tutorial - http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Fade
Flex Sensor Tutorial - http://bildr.org/2012/11/flex-sensor-arduino/
MP3 Shield tutorial - https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-music-maker-shield-vs1053-mp3-wav-wave-ogg-vorbis-player
Adafruit ring tutorial - https://learn.adafruit.com/superhero-power-plant/overview
Again, the trouble I'm having is taking the provided code and putting it all together for my own needs- to where when one set of flex sensors goes to the unbent/off state, the corresponding LED ring slowly flickers on to 100% on, and an mp3 file starts playing.
I'd really appreciate any help that can be provided to this goal, even if its a helpful link to a tutorial.
