I have struggled for years to understand the basics of electronics for cosplay and even though I read Kamui's book about cosplay lights (which is amazing btw!) I didn't seem to understand how to make custom circuits at all. I have reached out to a friend of mine who helped me with this project and taught me all the essential skills I needed. I tried to make this tutorial as beginner friendly as possible and included notes on a lot of things I struggled to understand when I started.
The tutorial contains step by step guide of how I made the circuits and also how I incorporated them in my costume to create that beautiful effect. I also included mistakes I made and tips on how to improve things. Since I am not a professional, I recommend you combine this tutorial with some soldering and electronics tutorials and videos for deeper understanding of the subject. .
