GyroLights

A pair of pneumatic stilts, where both stilts are equipped with an ESP32, gyroscope and APA102 LED Strips. The LED effects can react to the movement using a accelerometer/gyroscope. Different modes can be set using a rotary switch on the master unit. The currently active mode is communicated to the slave unit via Bluetooth Low Energy.
