In general, any activity in the water is more dangerous when done at night. The dangers are less visible and you can easily get into trouble. [Xyla Foxlin]the party canoe can’t help with that, but it seems the business after sunset.
The canoe is made of fiberglass directly molded on an existing canoe to facilitate proper shape shaping. It was divided into two halves, with special care taken to make the end result as clear as possible. Obviously fiberglass will never be perfectly transparent, but [Xyla] does a great job of getting a nice translucent matte look. The end result means that this is the ideal canoe for filling addressable LEDs. A series of WS2812Bs connected to the Arduino make an attractive light show when driving at night.
The diffusion nature of fiberglass really makes the difference here. We have talked about this topic before – this is the key to turning your brilliant project into a real pop. Video after the break.
