Up till now almost all features have been completed except for pressure sensitivity. I used arduino nano as my micro controller and two pressure sensors placed at the front and at the back of the insole. A 9V battery was used to power the hardware. Hurdles: Not enough space […]
An image or video I’ve removed this carbon tapes and plan to either put a new strip on or use some wire I bought. A Listing of accomplishments made by all group members for the previous week I figured out how to make plugging my dress into the wall […]
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 […]
This past week, I began the construction of the physical piece. As I planned, I sewed the two wristbands together, but only after deconstruction the bulkier wristband. This cut down on the bulk of what will be the final product, leaving me with a flap to cover the board instead […]
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. […]
Progress made this week: Re-cut and sewed my lining correctly ordered and received the new battery and extra LEDs I needed new components. rechargeable battery, battery port with on/off switch, button board, 10 white LEDs for the cuffs Tested hook and loop closure as a ‘switch’ in a circuit […]
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. […]
