New Mermaid Glimmer video. Or, “glimmer porn” as my husband calls it. 
She behaved SO well last night. All LEDs performed perfectly, as requested, with no shorting and no shocks and no failures. I’m so proud!

Wow! Looks great AND sounds like a big success in terms of the build!
What did you do differently this time?
I think it’s mostly just that the bugs are finally working themselves out… by now I’ve fixed most of the lights that were predisposed to breaking.
(Also, I wasn’t drunk when I put the tail on, so the electronics box was fully closed and sealed this time, what a concept)
And it was a pool rather than a salt water tank or ocean. Glimmer’s definitely a fresh water mermaid… I’ve taken her in salt water twice and gotten a LOT of corrosion as a result.
I want to get video of the performance-mode code in action - it looked awesome and has turned Glimmer into an “act” instead of just ambient swimming. I am also thinking I want to replace the BlueFruit chip with a BTLE chip so I can control her with my iPhone. So many projects…
