Sound Reactive EL Wire Costume

Test, Secure, and Show Off!
Connect all components to the EL Sequencer (inverter, battery, sound detector), and place in belt pouch. Turn the system on, make some noise (e.g. clapping, snapping, or music), and check that the EL wire flashes when there is a sound.
If the outfit works as expected, secure all connections by coating them in a (thin) layer of epoxy. Let dry for at least 24 hours.
Epoxy is a very permanent adhesive, so if you want to reuse any of the components, try other adhesives like hot glue or electrical tape (less secure, but adjustable and removable).
You can reduce the overall strain on individual connections by ensuring that wires are securely fastened to the belt and/or pouch approximately one inch (1") from all connections. The goal is to allow the EL wire to flex while keeping electrical connections rigid, as the connections are the most likely point of breakage.
Wear your one-of-a-kind, high-tech outfit and go show it off to the world!
