On going project

Proposal | The project proposal is to do a personal kit of materials and equipment and to develop a range of learning experiences based on the Arduino Projects Book, Make: Wearable Electronics: Design, prototype, and wear your own interactive garments and so many other documented experiences online. The main goal is to learn the basics of wearable electronics, adapted and driven by the intention of designing wearables for circus performance.

List of materials from the book: Arduino Uno Battery snap Breadboard Capacitors DCmotor Diode Gels (red, green, blue) H-bridge Jumper wires LEDs (light emitting diods) LCD (liquid crystal display) Male header pins Optocoupler Piezo Photoresistor Potentiometer Pushbuttons Resistors Servo motor Temperature sensor Tilt sensor Transistor USB Cable

Plus: 9V battery Small light source (like a flashlight) Conductive material like aluminum foil or cooper mesh Scissors Old CD or DVD Tape Glue Cardboard box Basic tools like a screwdriver

Equipments: Soldering iron and solder

Software: Arduino IDE (latest version)

Hardware:

It would be nice to have acess to:

The basics for sewing textile artifacts:

exp1 - fabric switch

The LED is on when two lines touch.

Stitch two separate thread patches. Connect one to pin 2 and the other to GND. When the patches touch, through a fold, a press, or a snap closing, the LED on the board turns on.

#include <Arduino.h>

void setup() {
pinMode(2, INPUT_PULLUP);   // não é preciso resistência externa
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
bool toque = digitalRead(2) == LOW;  // LOW = as áreas estão em contacto
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, toque);
Serial.println(toque);
delay(20);
}

exp2 - the light is on when the tread is touched
