Inspiration
My teammate loves to skydive and he thought it would look cool to have flashing lights, but he could never easily customize the colors of the LEDs on his helmet.
What it does
It takes what color and brightness you want for your LEDs on your helmet before you dive, and then after you dive it gives you data relating to your jump.
How I built it
We used Android phone that connected to an ESP32 via Bluetooth. This ESP32 controls the lights and takes sensor data and sends it back to the Android.
Challenges I ran into
We had a hard time coming up with an idea. It took us until noon Saturday to finally settle.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I got the two devices communicating effectively over Bluetooth. I used the Android phone to control the LED lights.
What I learned
I learned how to use Bluetooth on an Android phone to connect to an embedded system.
What's next for SkyHub
We will try to keep working on it.
