Status	prototype
Budget	3000
Fabric Length (meter)	300

Yvo from I-Tech has offered to create Light Flowers. These flowers are are made in a large volume.

Light rope made to look like vines. On each rope there are about 5 flowers with RGB addressable lights and will probably be on the network. Flowers will be about 30cm diameter.

The flowers should ideally be elevated to enhance visibility and to ensure that they will not be covered in mud. We could wrap them around trees or a purpose-built structure.

Dependencies

Team power
- need 18 dual + 12 single power sockets to plug into
Permits:
- None
Power:
- 18 x 6W (kaleidoscopic projectors)
- 30 x 24W (LED light ropes)
Network
- needs an "internet of things" type wifi SSID, can work without, but it would be nice if it could work with it.

- Stretch goal: will work with ESP and should make use of the badges.

WIP log

A suggested design is to use addressable RGB LED ropes inside a plastic tube set on pickets. Leaving holes in the tube to have a loop of RGB-led-strip quit the tube, round a 3D printed casing with textile flowers and going back into the tube. See sketch.
The tube around the RGB LED ropes will be something like this: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2021-hot-sale-high-quality-wholesale_62297434311.html?spm=a2700.details.0.0.11c23fedsrSgmB
The pickets will be something like these: https://www.vdsteenxxl.com/product/netten/werfnetten-1/5-x-piket-voor-werfnetten-montage/
The ropes might get covered in cloth with the MCH2022 design.
The textile for the flowers themselves might be printed so as to add circuit/kaleidoscopic designs to the flower petals.
