A dovetail joint makes putting on and removing the necklace a cinch. A TinyPico V2, based on the ESP32, runs the show, as it\u2019s very small and thus perfect for the wearable application. A USB power bank provides power to the microcontroller and LEDs.<\/p>\n<p>The TinyPico uses its WiFi connection to query a server fed with air quality data from a separate sensor unit. The necklace displays a calm breathing animation as standard in cool tones. However, when air quality deteriorates, it shows warmer and hotter colors in a more pointed and vibrant fashion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you\u2019re building wearables and glowables, sometimes a flashy rainbow animation is all you need.
