Week 3 – Update

  • What did you do this week? 
I was able to find an example code for the pulse sensor which seems to function properly using the arduino uno.  I will need to do some more work to get the 3 LEDs to communicate with the pulse sensor.
I also received the proximity sensor, new fabric and LEDs.
I also discussed with Emelia how to sew in a pocket on the back of the jacket in order to hide the Lilypad.
  • Describe the problems you encountered.
  • I have to scrap the pattern pieces I already cut due to the fire incident….
  • Describe the successes you had.
  • The basic code for the pulse sensor seemed to work properly
  • Are you on schedule?
  • While I originally planned to work on the jacket construction this week, I played around with the sensors instead so I think I am still on schedule.
  • What do you plan to do next week?
  • I plan to cut my new pattern and start assembling the jacket.
