Small Electronics project

Discussion
1

Good afternoon all,
I’m Dave and potential new member . I wanted to find out there is anyone with experience in electronics that might be able to help with a current project involving 3 x flexible led filaments, wled controller, portable 5v power bank, and a remote switch.

I have all the pieces to assemble what i am trying to do, but would very like and be grateful for some guidance in bringing it to life and ensure is completely safe to wear beneath a silicone prostethic without potentially getting too hot or causing any burns to the skin.

Woukd be grateful for any feedback if soneone is available to help.

Regards
Dave

I have no idea about this kind of thing but this project sounds cool!

@electrotechs any suggestions or know who might be the right member to ask?

Thanks Louisa,
Its a small project for a creature character contest at Halloween that I’m entered into. I’ve already sculpted and made the moulds ready to cast the prostethics using silicone, just need to get the electronics completed so i can finish the character.

Fantastic… youll probably enjoy helping with what im trying to create then. Ive done all the sculpting, moulding and about to start cadting the silicone prostethics which the led filaments will be beneath to create an light/visual effect… but i have no experience in electronics , so difficult for me to work out whether im doing things correctly and whether its safe!

I look forward to joining the community and hopefully getting yours and others input and advice.
