I have downloaded the proper Arduino program to be able to work with the Trinket I have purchased to program. I have sewn in the buzzer and the trinket to the wrist band. I have edited one of the example codes and made it work to test the vibration which […]
This past week I finally got all of the materials. I made a test of a soft pressure sensor. However, it seems to be a little big and I am now more inclined to just use the switch to turn the device on and off instead of the soft pressure […]
Progress has been slow to start, as expected. Due to exterior commitments with my personal prop business, the armor building has to be pushed back to next week. However, this past week was spent working on orienting myself with all the various sensors and outputs I will be using. […]
An image or video This is an example of carbon tape being used to heat a blanket from a tutorial I found online. (http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-carbon-heated-blanket/?ALLSTEPS) I am attempting to use this technique to heat my dress. A Listing of accomplishments made by all group members for the previous week I sewed […]
This week, what I have accomplished so far is approaching coding, practicing with sewing machines, buying extra materials (fabric for lining and a part of body, invisible threads, hot glue gun) My problem is the order of the fabric that has pattern is delayed and it won’t arrive until 03/27. […]
What I have accomplished: By now all my elements and materials have been ordered and delivered which include a night dress, 20 LEDs, an accelerator, cover fabric and so on. Moreover I have finished the testing programming for ADXL335. Problems I have met: The testing didn’t go very well. […]
This past week I finally completed my tapestry. I am beginning to weave in the fiber optics. I think it is looking really nice so far. I am brainstorming the best way to construct a frame that will hide the LED strip right now. I think I will move onto […]
So far everything is pretty much on schedule. The leggings are almost done, the elastic waist just needs to be inserted and the bottoms need to be hemmed. A pattern has been made for the shirt and the skirt’s pattern is starting to be drawn out. All of the equipment […]
Out of difficulty trying to find a ready made jacket to accommodate the components and liner, I decided to construct my own. GOOD: My jacket is starting to take shape, I have selected a pattern, sourced fabric, cut the pattern, serged the edges, attached the front to the back and […]
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 […]
