hello world on the wearable device

wearing the wearable
Inspiration
I very much like visualizing the environment around us using technology, I also like to see that technology implemented into fashion or clothing, as it adds a challenge of making the device rugged for everyday life.
What it does
It is a little flash drive sized board with built in wifi and a 7x15 array of leds. It can display any information from the web when programmed correctly.
How I built it
It is comprised of 3 main components, a lipo battery, an esp8266 module and a 7x15 charlieplexed led display.
Challenges I ran into
I was intending to program it using micropython, however the board was having issues with the file storage and I ended up switching to c++. The characters are also a bit big for the display, making it only able to dispay 3 at a time.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I was able to connect it to the lehigh guest wifi, which I thought to be a very challenging task.
What I learned
prototype circuits are very delicate, and when trying to save space, not very practical, but they can do amazing things.
What's next for IoT wearable
I would like to cram as many little side animations and programs onto the board until the 648 kb of flash is used up.
