I was trying to build power boots with an infinity mirror. Based on cosplay foam crafting skills and infinity mirror effect.
I used pekakura Designer and a buzz lightyear armor template to build my project






Material list
A pair of shoes
2X GEMMA
Black foam sheet
RGB strip
Arcrylic
double side mirror film
plastic mirror
hot glue gun!
Thanks to Becky’s tutorial, I can easily create these project

Code:
//based on NeoPixel library sample sketch byttoncycler.ino by Tony Dicola for Adafruit: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_NeoPixel/blob/master/examples/buttoncycler/buttoncycler.ino
#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
#define BUTTON_PIN 2 // Digital IO pin connected to the button. This will be
// driven with a pull-up resistor so the switch should
// pull the pin to ground momentarily. On a high -> low
// transition the button press logic will execute.
#define PIXEL_PIN 1 // Digital IO pin connected to the NeoPixels.
#define PIXEL_COUNT 50
#define BRIGHTNESS 80
// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip
// Parameter 2 = pin number (most are valid)
// Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed:
// NEO_RGB Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream
// NEO_GRB Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream, correct if colors are swapped upon testing
// NEO_RGBW Pixels are wired for RGBW bistream
// NEO_KHZ400 400 KHz bitstream (e.g. FLORA pixels)
// NEO_KHZ800 800 KHz bitstream (e.g. High Density LED strip), correct for neopixel stick
