Very nice BeatSneaks-like project from Didier Brun for Adidas:
Sweet moves. Coincidentally, I actually constructed a very similar device last year, using many of the same tools: XBee radios, force-sensitive resistors, and Processing. Here are some pictures of that prototype:
There’s some hardware debouncing on the module there, and then the XBees and Processing handle the rest.
I moved away from the project for a while, but lately I’ve been thinking about it quite a bit and have some interesting improvements in mind. Stay tuned for more in the future!

hi there I would be very interested in making something similar but I do not know anything about electronics. Can you please help me by emailing a step by step to me? I am really interested and have done much research and bought the materials I just dont understand how to hook it up. please help me
Hi there,
You can find step-by-step instructions on building wired BeatSneaks in my instructable.
If you want to make wireless shoes, Didier Brun’s write up is as close to a step-by-step howto that I’ll think you’ll find right now.
