Haute Codeture: Clothing as a Canvas
summary
Builds LED clothing controlled over Wi‑Fi from a web app and initially uses Arduino + Socket.IO keeps crashing, with a skirt that reboots in public. Moves off Heroku to host a local MQTT broker on DigitalOcean, switches to MQTT broker to cut protocol overhead, and upgrades hardware to a Feather M0 Wi‑Fi upgrade for separate Wi‑Fi module and better stability. Outcome is a more reliable, low‑power, interactive outfit that strangers can command.
