full color
need a battery
[maybe a 420mAh LiPo Battery will work](https://www.adafruit.com/product/4236)
want to get something like the
[MPU6050 6-Axis Accelerometer/Gyro Module](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3886) so i can have a sleep and wake mechanism when i walk.
also going to solder a [BME280 Module](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2652) so i can also display accurate humidity and tempature.
deicided to add vibrations for when it is low on abttery and makes a succesful update or loses/gains connection. [Coin Vibration Motor (10mm diameter)](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1201)
[wifi 2.4ghz](https://www.adafruit.com/product/944) so that i can have a better range
[power switch](https://www.adafruit.com/product/805) or [power switch vertical](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3220)
[PN2222 NPN Transistor](https://www.adafruit.com/product/756) for motor controls
[diode](https://www.adafruit.com/product/755) for motor protection
[resistors](https://www.adafruit.com/product/4294)
[jumper wires female to female](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1951)
[jumper wires male to female](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1954)
[heat shrink](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1649)
