Welcome back! Natasha here. :) 

This is the third of 10 blog posts featuring each video in my series on animating LEDs with micro:bit and Make Code. If you've just stumbled upon this post, start from the beginning here.

ln this video, I'll show you how to connect micro:bit, a LiPo battery, and NeoPixel LEDs to prepare the project for downloading code.

After I show you how to connect the components properly, I'll offer ideas for attaching the LED strip to a bike helmet or other accessory. Then, I'll go over some other micro:bit connection types to consider when you are designing your own project.

Watch it now:

How did it go?

Did you find a new way to connect your components that others can be inspired by? Did your project fall apart?
