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 […]
Progress is speeding by. I finished the wiring and attaching the lighting on all the chest pieces, shoulder and upper arm pieces. I also completed building the Hand plates and encasing them in Worbla plastic. I also finished attaching the motor/light combo to the back pieces. I plan to finish […]
For this week, I still haven’t done much more except cutting out some more pieces for the skirt so I don’t have any new photo to update. I’m still on my way to try to finish cutting the fabric and sewing my skirt. For next week, I will move on […]
Done this week: Sewed in snaps to the test poncho, along with some neopixels; tested a removable connection to an arduino via alligator clips on unsewn end of the snaps. Works fine when everything’s connected; loss of data or power also seem fine. Loss of ground leaves the neopixels […]
Accomplishments: This week Kevin and I soldered the electret microphone to the Qduino Mini microcontroller (shown in the picture). We have been researching possible coding techniques to use in order to make the LEDs blink to the beat of the music. We experimented with the fast Fourier transform or FFT, […]
This week I finished soldering the accelerometer and the neopixel strip to the lilypad. I have been working on coding. I have been recording numbers from the accelerometer and have tried out different code with the neopixels. I have been working on combining the accelerometer and neopixel code and have […]
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 […]
I don’t really have any new images as this week I still continued to work out the final kinks in my code. I am pretty sure I’m about ready to go with the software portion of this project, so this week I intend to progress solely onto the implementation into […]
Percentage: 50%-60% Accomplishment: This week I have finished all the programming and have had all my electronic elements including the 20 LEDs sewn on my testing fabric to have a simple demo for my final nightdress. Difficulties: The code did’t go very well which means I may need some adjustment […]
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 […]
