Overview
LED Hula Hoops are common and fairly straight forward to put together. A fresher take on this idea is to add an accelerometer and micro-controller to the setup. The micro-controller communicates with the accelerometer, gets the motion information and toggles the LEDs to produce interesting patterns.
