Done this week: Some conceptual work: I’ve investigated a few patterns for Ponchos — Eleanor showed me a short poncho she’d made (Thanks!), and I found a few other designs online. I’ve cut the simplest in muslin to use as a testbed, to test sizing and weight of attached […]
: Accomplishments: I made great progress in selecting and purchasing the materials I need, all of which will arrive on Monday. I’ve ordered the motors, neopixels, EL Wire and inverter, and POV kit. Most excitingly, I think I have a replacement for the C02: Spring Steel corset boning. I talked to […]
This week, I was hoping to have my pulse sensor in by Thursday, but unfortunately that was not the case. So, I continued research into materials for the wristband, and at this point, I am leaning towards some sort of elastic sweatband (perhaps moisture wicking). I am thinking about adding […]
An image or video (this could either be photograph of the current state of your work, a sketch, a diagram, etc) The image above is the progress that has been made on the mobile application we will be using for our communication device. The programming was done in Javascript/HTML/CSS using […]
Accomplishments: Both Alex and Kevin soldered the IMU to the LilyPad and ran the minimalistic example code to ensure the IMU was hooked up correctly and outputting reasonable values in the serial monitor. At first we were having trouble uploading code to the board but this problem was easily resolved […]
This week I worked on the accelerometer portion of my project. I soldered wires to the accelerometer because when I tried using conductive thread it was too close together. After that, I used alligator clips to hook up the accelerometer and ran some basic code to get numbers. I also […]
This week I worked on installing the right library, and finding the right lines of code to establish a connection between the Simblee Bluetooth chip and and the Simblee iOS app. After this I created a quick rough draft of a user interface. I also worked on the wiring between […]
1. Image or video: What you see is the brim of a cheap hat I deconstructed. There’s a few things to take away from the way it’s put together. Firstly, the material is plastic – it looks like cardboard, but it’s a cheap recycled plastic material similar in composition to […]
1. An image or video (this could either be photograph of the current state of your work, a sketch, a diagram, etc) Attached is the intended attachment direction that t I plan on incorporating into my design. Specifically, this shows how the fiber optics will connect to the LEDs. 2. A […]
Hi. 1. An image or video (this could either be photograph of the current state of your work, a sketch, a diagram, etc) I worked with Sylvia to draw the circuit thing… I would send a picture of the Arduino, but I can’t access it right now. Even better, I […]
