The lantern will react based on what your're doing while wearing it on your belt.
It will stay turned off while your'e just standing still, but the scoutflies will start to react in the lantern as soon as you're walking, showing their green light. If you'll shake them a bit too much they don't like it too much and they will let you know by pulsing red.
The software I wrote is available as well in the files tab.
Electronic Schematic
As power source I used a normal power bank and sacrificed an old usb cable to connect all the components to it (keeping the usbA end of it).
The Arduino Pro Micro can be fitted in the main body and it has its usb port cutout so you can still reprogram it later on if you want.
For an optimal operation I suggest to glue the accelerometer on the inner edge of the part called "scoutfly container" as visible also in the picture below (the orientation of the accelerometer doesn't matter).
I used a total of 12 LEDs that I split into 3 separate strips to stick on the LED support (remember to change the value of the constant called NUM_LEDS if you're using a different amount of them)
Good monster hunting :)
