Empezando con LilyPad Arduino ~ Arduino.cl Este es un tutorial rápido para empezar a coser un simple circuito y controlar LEDS, usando la placa Arduino LilyPad. No aprenderás cómo crear tus propios programas para Arduino, pero conectarás 9 LEDs a la placa (uno a cada pin excepto los pines + y -), y cargarás el código propuesto para cambiar la forma en que las luces se moverán y parpadearán. Los materiales que necesitarás son los siguientes: Recomendado (pero no necesario): Bastidor En primer lugar, visita la página y descarga el software de Arduino si es que aún no lo tienes. Echa un vistazo a tu placa LilyPad – tiene 11 pads que pueden ser conectados a cualquier cantidad de dispositivos interesantes. Para comenzar, enhebra tu aguja con el hilo conductor, y cose tu placa sobre la tela que quieras, en el agujero titulado “5? Ahora hilvana un hilo desde este punto hacia donde quieras que esté tu primer LED, luego cóselo al pad positivo de tu LED. Enrolla y corta tu hilo. Ahora sólo faltan 2 pads.

Soft Electronics Tutorials Specialized Materials The tools and materials for creating soft circuits are pretty standard: you need your electronic components and their tools, and your soft materials and their tools. Anything that conducts electricity can be interesting here: snaps can be switches; hooks and eyes can too. If you are thinking of doing digital electronics, check out the Lilypad Arduino, an open-source programmable microcontroller designed especially for sewing and use with conductive thread. Not sure you want to invest in a whole spool of conductive thread? Sewing with components To sew traditional components one must make them into sewable buttons. If the component will be under physical pressure, reinforce the conductive thread stitches with normal thread, which is stronger. Another option to connect between hard and soft elements in a circuit is to terminate the soft portion with a snap. Use normal cotton / polyester thread to secure the snap after sewing it with conductive thread. Soft push-button 1.

LilyTiny Plush Monster Favorited Favorite 6 Introduction Craft a glowing-eyed stuffed monster while exploring the LilyTiny preprogrammed microcontroller. This is a project based on the Tiny Monster Activity created at MIT’s High-Low Tech Lab by Emily Lovell, Jie Qi, and Natalie Freed. While the original monster activity uses one LED, this project will use two (or more) to light up the monster’s eyes. We’ll learn how to hook up the LilyTiny board, prototype with alligator clips, and plan a conductive thread circuit on a three dimensional project. This is a great project to try after you’ve done a couple e-sewing projects and before you are ready to start programming a full LilyPad Arduino project. Suggested Reading If you’ve never worked with e-textiles before, you may want to have a look at these other tutorials.

E-Textiles: an Introduction to Our Electro-Fashion Range | Kitronik Amidst the hype surrounding wearable technology, we, too, have been deeply inspired by the craze. As a result, we have designed our own range of E-Textiles parts in a bid to help lessen the gap between Electronics and textiles: Electro-Fashion. Discover just how easy it is to conduct your own E-Textiles project using our Electro-Fashion range and be a part of this global infatuation with fashionable electronics. An E-Textiles project by Laura Cooper, a Design and Technology Education undergraduate at Nottingham Trent University. Electro-Fashion Starter Pack, Standard Cell Holder, parts Electro-Fashion is Kitronik's own range of E-Textiles parts. A preview of our Sewable Rocket Key Ring Torch Tutorial In addition to supplying the fundamental parts of any E-Textile project, we also offer a selection of online E-Textiles tutorials and resources with step-by-step guidance and cutting pattern templates.

TUTORIALES Y RECURSOS DIY – Blog En los últimos años, gracias al apoyo de una gran comunidad activa de investigadores, hobbistas, diseñadores, makers, ingenieros y sobre todo de personas interesadas en democratizar el uso de las tecnologías, se pueden encontrar en la red diferentes tutoriales , materiales y herramientas que nos ayudan a iniciarnos en los e-textiles. Para todos los que estéis interesados en conocer mas sobre este campo de investigación o realizar algún proyecto este campo os dejo una lista con recursos que iré actualizando cada poco tiempo. Syuzi Pakhchyan es una reconocida diseñadora de tecnología vestible. Ella es la autora del libro Fashioning Tech, el primer libro “hazlo tú mismo” que existió en el mercado sobre materiales inteligentes y e-textiles aplicados a la moda y la decoración Desde hace ya algunos años, Syuzi cuya investigación se centra en la intersección entre cultura y tecnología, gestiona un blog sobre moda y tecnología en donde tambien puedes encontrar tutoriales “hazlo tú mismo”. link

Stitching the Loop: Electronic Textiles in Exploring CS Participate About Copyright 2019 TERC; Funded by NSF #1642187 DIY PROJECTS To Sew Electric and the marvelous world of electronic textiles! This website and its companion book will show you how to make your own soft, colorful, and wearable electronics. You’ll play with fabric, light, and sound to build a glowing bracelet, a singing stuffed monster, a fabric bookmark, and a fuzzy cloth piano. Electronic Textiles The cutting edge field of electronic textiles or e-textiles is a recent development in both design and engineering. This book is designed to provide a creative, hands-on introduction to this fascinating new field. Getting the Materials You can purchase LilyPad kits, which include all the electronics to accompany the book, from SparkFun. The Projects This website contains step-by-step instructions for making two projects: a cloth bookmark and a sparkling bracelet. The first tutorial, the bookmark tutorial, describes how to build a cloth bookmark with a stitched-in LED light that you can use to read after dark. Contact Us

Code Your Micro | Make It Switch It's fairly easy to code reading a switch in most languages. Refer to the following circuit as we go through the code: Though this tutorial has examples of using a switch on an analog pin, all the examples in the tutorial can use either analog or digital pins. MakeCode has reading switches basically baked in. You can read the pins that are available as inputs. Below is a loop that will read the switch on A1 on a Circuit Playground Express. The rainbow effect will be on the NeoPixels on a Circuit Playground Express if activated, otherwise the lights will be off. Setting pull up resistors on start is the code that sets up our board when everything starts. Checking Switch Connection The forever loop reads the pin A1 digitally. With Pull-Up resistors, you'll always have to check if the pin is connected to ground (LOW, off or False) to determine when the switch has been pressed - which is backwards from what we normally think! As the button is pulled up, it will return HIGH when not pushed.

Connect the Sensor | Distance Measurement with Ultrasound The common HC-SR04 boards are designed for 5V TTL voltage levels. Since the advent of CMOS many circuits started using 3.3V levels including the CPX board, this can create compatibility problems. The guide to CPX Pinouts states: All of the GPIO pads are 3.3V output level, and should not be used with 5V inputs. This creates a requirement to reduce the voltage from the Echo output of the HC-SR04 rather than simply directly connecting all of the sensor's pins to the CPX board. The slightly more complicated alternative to converting the voltages is to use a semiconductor solution like the unidirectional 74LVC245 or 74AHCT125 or the bidirectional TXB0104. The diagram below shows how to connect the components together. The picture below shows how it looks implemented on a breadboard. The A0 input can be used as an output for the sensor's Trig pin if you want the surprise of hearing the trigger pulses. The standard HC-SR04 will appear to work at 3.3V but apparently is far less accurate.

Make It Log The Past Before the advent of computers, all data was written in notebooks. One of Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks, above, is an example, as are the notebooks by the great scientists of the past. The Present While observation by eye is still used today, more often than not we automate readings by electronics. In any given day, billions of sensors worldwide take readings of heat, light, wind, etc. The Spreadsheet To record and analyze readings, it is easiest for most folks to use a spreadsheet. This guide will quickly allow you to learn about placing data readings directly into the spreadsheet of your choice, A Circuit Playground Express and it's multitude of sensors, will log data to a spreadsheet and an Android phone.
