DIY Smart Garments. Arduino - HomePage. BoardLilyPad. Overview The LilyPad Arduino is a microcontroller board designed for wearables and e-textiles. It can be sewn to fabric and similarly mounted power supplies, sensors and actuators with conductive thread. The board is based on the ATmega168V (the low-power version of the ATmega168) (datasheet) or the ATmega328V (datasheet). The LilyPad Arduino was designed and developed by Leah Buechley and SparkFun Electronics. Downloads Schematic: LilyPad_schematic_v18.pdf EAGLE (CAD) Files: LilyPad_Board_v18.zip Summary Warning: Don't power the LilyPad Arduino with more than 5.5 volts, or plug the power in backwards: you'll kill it.

Programming The LilyPad Arduino can be programmed with the Arduino software (download). The ATmega168V or ATmega328V on the Arduino LilyPad comes preburned with a bootloader that allows you to upload new code to it with the Arduino software. Power The LilyPad Arduino can be powered via the USB connection or with an external power supply. Physical Characteristics Washability. Leah buechley - LilyPad Arduino - introduction. Top 10 DIY Arduino Projects and HOW-TO Tutorials! Arduino has been widely popular among hackers and DIY-addicts out there for modding/hacking things. For those of you just entering the Arduino world, here’s a bunch of great Arduino tutorials/projects that can help you jump-start your next project. 1) Did you know that you can program/flash your Arduino wirelessly?

For those of you who are going to be making devices where the Arduino is hidden from easy access, read up on how you can program your Arduino wirelessly using Xigbee modules over at Lady Ada’s site. 2) Arduinome is a project the Monome for audio sequencers. Theses are minimalist input for any Arduino project so I think this is a great device to add-on to your project, even it’s not audio-related. 3) For energy eco-projects, you can refer to this great site on OpenEnergyMonitor, which uses Arduino and complete details are provided for making your own home energy monitor. 5) Need some resources on robots using Arduino? Also see RC lawnmower using Arduino and the solar lawnmower. Voice Shield kit for Arduino. The VS is designed to work with a standard Arduino as a plug-on shield.

Though, you could use it with any Arduino but you'd have to wire it manually. It has a stackable design, meaning that if you have other plug-on shields they can be stacked on top of the VS. (Make sure that they are not using the same pins! The VS uses digital pins 2,3,4 and 5 of the Arduino.) The ISD runs at 3 volts but the Arduino uses 5 volts, to interface the two the VS has an on board 3 volt regulator with filtering capacitors, and level shifting circuitry to safely connect both devices. There are two forms of audio output possible with the VS. Arduino - Fab Lab Bcn WIKI.

This semester was really busy, I didn’t have time to much else, but soon I will have my winter holiday (Here in south our summer holiday is from December to February). Today I am going to show you how to build a simple temperature sensor using one LM35 Precision Temperature Sensor and Arduino, so you can hookup on your future projects. The circuit will send serial information about the temperature so you can use on your computer, change the code as you will. I’m planning to build a temperature sensor with max/min + clock + LCD, and when I get it done, I will post here.

Parts: Arduino (You can use other microcontroller, but then you will need to change the code).LM35 Precision Centigrade Temperature Sensor, you can get from any electronic store. Here is the DATA SHEET.BreadBoard Assembling: This is a quick and simple step. Down goes some pictures that may help you, click to enlarge: Anything just ask!!! Leap Motion.

Once upon a time...wait a minute, that reads like a fairy tale. This is a real story. In 2005, a small team of athletes (and non-athletes) left corporate America with the dream of creating and selling totally unique and revolutionary products to sports and fitness enthusiasts everywhere. We also wanted to have a good time doing it. Textronics, Inc. was born.

We were fortunate to have two key ingredients: a cool technology portfolio based on the integration of textiles and electronics and a team of people with decades of experience in the textile industry in virtually every market around the world. It also helped to have the game-changing idea of a sports bra that monitored the wearer's heart rate during workouts. It was — and is — a revolutionary garment. The world took notice. In 2008, global sports apparel company adidas acquired Textronics and our NuMetrex line of heart rate monitoring apparel and electronics. . — Team NuMetrex. Everything about Wearable Electronic. iNano. Context The “Smart Nano Electronics Textile and Garment Integration” addresses the need for nanoscale electronic structures adapted to textile and garment integration for the wearables soft goods industry. At present the integration of electronic components into garments in the industry is limited to hard silicone-based add-on electronics affixed through bonding processes.

This method of electronics integration is limited in several ways due to the fundamental incompatibility of the two materials substrates. Textiles are pliable, breathable, washable, and composed from a modular interweaving of fibres. When electronics are integrated onto textile surfaces and subject to standard garment usage (everyday ergonomics and chemistry of the body, environmental conditions, and regular washing) the electronics become vulnerable to rapid usage and breakage.
