Introduction
Kitty's Flower is a pair of Bluetooth wearable brooches. Jointly created by Art by Physicist and DFRobot, they are specially designed for wearable application scenarios, integrated power management system, RGB LED lights, accelerometer, sensors, vibration, and touch. Support Arduino and Scratch programming, and can be used as the core intelligent control unit for wearable products, interactive art installations, and new accessories. Two are matched as a pair, and various effects can be programmed by users. The factory-set functions are programmed for the above-mentioned scenario. Companion brooches match the Flower outfit (top, shorts and mask cover) with hand digital painting on fabric and 3D printed flowers on tulle.

Tutorial
Kitty Flower integrates multiple functions, we will show them one by one below, but in actual use, please upgrade Kitty Flowers Demo separately: KittyMother and KittyChild two demos to complete the pairing and connection. The two demos will automatically set the master/slave status of the motherboards, and then read the Bluetooth RSSI field strength value to determine the distance between each other. click to download Kitty's Flower Demo. Here are the other functions.
