Accomplishments: Both Alex and Kevin completed the code for the outfit during the last week of class. By adding multiple thresholds the lights illuminate when there is no motion, fade in and out at different rates when there is slow motion and flash at different rates when there is […]
Progress: All of my electronics are here! I also corrected the pattern pieces so they are mostly ready to go! Roadblocks: I didn’t find fabric I liked in NYC, so I will still need to buy fabric, I will need to get that as soon as possible so I can […]
This most recent week of class, I was able to finally get to implementing code and testing the heart rate sensor now that it finally came in later in the previous week. Once I got the code all set to go, I used alligator clips to get the connections set […]
This week I worked on putting together code for the accelerometer and the RGB led strip. I worked on the accelerometer and the led strip separately. I also went to a thrift shop to buy wetsuits to use for the wetsuit top. I am considering attaching the sleeves to a wetsuit […]
1. Image or video: Boom. That’s the substrate I’ll be using as the backbone of the circuit. It’s in a ziploc, so you can’t tell the thickness, but you’ll just have to trust me when I say it’s super thin. It’s also incredibly flexible, to the point I had to […]
Hi. 1. An image or video (this could either be photograph of the current state of your work, a sketch, a diagram, etc) New Button Design We also got a bunch of new materials in that I think might be a bit excessive to take pictures of them all… 2. […]
Accomplishments: Tested out parts. Made connections using alligator clips. Problems: Struggling with storing values in memory card which can be later accessed. Battery would not last long enough for LilyPad to function for a day. Next Week: Finish coding. Find a way to power it for a longer period of time.
Accomplishments: Ordered all parts. Starts looking at the sample codes online for help with coding. Finalized the design for the accessory. Problems: I have a hard time understanding the code sketches because of no prior substantial coding experience. Next week: Start writing the code. Try out all the parts.
On Tuesday I struggled the entire class, trying to figure out which pins on the Simblee lilypad supported I2C communication, in order to talk to my sensor. I emailed Simblee that night, and they got back to me pretty quickly, so I was able to successfully connect my IMU sensor […]
1. 2. A Listing of accomplishments made by all group members for the previous week This week we did test runs with conductive ink and determined how that works. We figured out how we were going to make the sensors and connect them to the board 3. A description of […]
