Accomplishments: I finished the 555 chip circuit for controlling the servo motor and it works reasonably well. I also completed sewing the orange EL wire into an outer square. For the purple chasing EL wire I looked at a lot of designs before settling on the word ‘magic’ in Arabic […]
The picture shows the testing set up I used with the a LED attached to the microcontroller/microphone. The light flashes to the beat of the music. The fiber optics I will be using are also shown. Accomplishments: This week Kevin and I experimented with the fast Fourier transform or FFT […]
Images: I finished up routing the traces for the lights in the brim. You can see the circuit in the middle picture. Note the lights don’t go all the way around the brim – see the problems section. I’m gonna forge on ahead as-is, but this might be a spot […]
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. […]
This week I continued to work on the function that captures data during a lift, and also started to work on the sleeve that will hold the hardware. I cut out the fabric that will cover one side of the forearm, and sewed a pocket onto it, which will […]
Images: This is the progress of the dress so far Accomplishment: This week I spent a lot of time working on the garment rather than the programing so that I have something to start attaching the electronics on I cut out the city skyline and planned out the location of […]
1. Image 2. A Listing of accomplishments made by all group members for the previous week Sam and Michael both worked on the app had did some formatting so that it looks better and is easier for the user to use. They also figured out how to get the […]
I have sewn in the resistor and and connected it to the soft conductive fabric button. I have tested the coding again to make sure the vibrating motor works. I now I have to add the capacitive sensor code into my original working code to allow for the pressure button […]
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 […]
The apparel section is almost done! The hood is finished and about to be attached. The only thing left to sew are the hem and edges. I think I will put an invisible zipper on the side of the crop top and attach the pants to the crop with a […]
