Wirelessly Controlled Light Suit

Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation of electroluminescent light suits used by the BYU Ballroom Dance Team. The suits are controlled via a radio. The light suit design process comprised suit design and construction, control box design and construction, and a GUI implementation for a transmitting laptop station. These tasks were divided between nine team members and completed over a three-month time period. Each task had its own challenges, but through the hard work and dedication of team members, the project was successful.
