These additional items include: What percentage would you estimated that you have completed for your project? 70% I would say is done. How much has the project changed since your initial pitch? Everything is back up to speed now, besides the slight change in color of the screen printing ink. […]
I am trying to focus my efforts now on the more technical side of this project. Kevin and Jess were very helpful in finding an alternative option to the rather finicky sound sensor. We decided that a tilt sensor would be a more plausible option. The brass bead will hang […]
I did not get much progress done on the physical skirt last week since I was trying to work with the fiber optics in my weaving. I still need to talk with Jess to figure out how to get those to work. I plan to program my Lilypad and get […]
These additional items include: What percentage would you estimated that you have completed for your project? I now have about 40% of my project done, all that’s left is sewing and electronics How much has the project changed since your initial pitch? My design has changed slightly due to printing […]
Well, I think I arrived at a decent solution to the planar embedding: The issue is really those two pads in the middle. They provide a power and ground signal for the circuit. This graph is totally flat, and needs no jumpers, but I have to connect to those pads […]
Progress so far is at pace. As an Estimate I would say we are 40% done, all of the electronics are collected and now are just testing the software. They can not be permanently hooked up until the shirt is done. Which is going to be a major hurdle, getting […]
IMAGE: Turns out open-source software can be a pain to use. The power is all there, but the interface is terrible and there’s been a lot of bugs to sort through. The embedded image is part of the trace layout for the circuit board, as well as a badly-done rendering of […]
These additional items include: What percentage would you estimated that you have completed for your project? I would estimate I am about 20% of the way there, but it will pick up quickly this week because now I can get the ball rolling. How much has the project changed since […]
This week I am continuing to work on my fiber optic skirt. I finally finished my weavings where I incorporate the fiber optics. I am so glad I used them as a test because I got to experience the slippery, tricky nature of working with the fiber optics. I am […]
I am still working on the construction of my skirt. I did not get as far as I had planned during spring break so this week I plan to make a lot of progress. I want to complete the skirt, sew in the fiber optics and order the lights, sensor, […]
