The sewing is basically done and I’ve moved on to adding the lights. Everything should work together, except the EL panel which has the wrong size of a “plug” to put into the board. I’m going to cut it’s wire and weld a smaller wire onto it and weld that […]
I was not able to get as much done this weekend as I had wanted to but the end is near. I’m designing the final pieces of the fingers and all I have left are the fingertips. After the rest of the pieces are made, I plan to attach the […]
For this week, I moved on to a new step about the component instead of being stuck at the sewing part since Marianne said that it’s more important that I can finish the component and make it work rather than sewing the skirt and I’m running out of time. Therefore, […]
Progress is a little behind schedule but the schedule had a lot of time blocked out for final touches which is can be left out. The biggest setback on the electronics side was the broken microphone, which that problem is now fixed. This week will be designated to sewing the […]

This week I sewed the lilypad and accelerometer to the rash guard and connected the led strip as well. I started working on soldering the wires to the other side of the led strip but couldn’t manage to solder it properly. Later today I am going to pick up fabric […]

Done this week: Iterated on shell design. Test prints can be seen above; I think the final version is all planned out, but still needs to be printed. Scaling plans back to fit into time left. This is mostly triage just now — prioritizing the essentials. […]
