Sewable Electronic
This is my original plan I made for my birdie hat which look kind of cute. The coding works when touching A2 and GND with pressing bottom A to give energy trough the LEDs. Pressing bottom B will make music. As can see, I first plan to use 8 LED and connected with 2 sets of attach. But then I noticed that it would take up too much time and it would not able to work if I get the two negative and positive crossed. So, I cross out the extra LED and change the plan into 6 LED with one set of attach and it actually work quit well, also easy to make. The second changes that I made from my original plan is I change the actual size of the hat. This is actually a mistake that I made because I mixed up the body size and the size of feather. I put the feather size with the actual body size, so I guess it was getting bigger than I thought it will be. The third changes that I made, I didn’t actually change, because I already erase it, but my plan at first was to bring a triangle yellow hat from home and sew on the lily pad and LED afterwards. When I came back home to find the most fit hat that I will be satisfied, I noticed the hat I have was all made out of wool and pretty expensive which was not fit to sew on, same as the hat outside the store. By that, I decided to make a hat on my own, this is the final one that I got:
From this project, I learn how to code and trying more advanced circuit (Like sewing in more “holes” and coding directions). After this project, I can have a basic conclusion that coding was common in life and it was very useful, I’m having a lot of fun in this. Also, this is the first time I try to sew 3D shapes. It was pretty challenging the first time I tried, hard to sew the LEDs on fabric inside the shape when it’s not flat, but I get used to it after. Again, if I have an opportunity to do it again, I will make it harder with adding decorations, more coding directions, or making it more sophisticated.
Sewing Bookmark Project: Circuit
What I made was a bookmark with skeletons which I like a much, because I thought it would be very cool to put a scary thing on a bookmark. I also put an LED underneath one of the skeleton’s eyes to makes it look like a cool pirate like. The most proud of my project is I really have been sewn a project out of threads and wools, stitching was a very interest and hard thing to do.
This is the first time I have making sewing projects, so this was definitely new for me. The second thing I thought it was pretty interesting and fresh to me was using the conductive thread and elective materials to finish a LED project and i’ve never thought that there is a thing that can put fabric and electronic together with the lily pad battery holder. If I can give tips for the students becoming next, then I would really really warn them to pick up a good lily pad battery holder, because the one I used was a broken one, and I just notice when I nearly finish my project. And second is to pull the thread tighter and remember, must first use the stitch to touch the pad first, or else it won’t work and you will have to pull the thread out and do it all again. I think the hardest thing for me is to get the LED work. It really takes me a lot of time to get it worked, either the practice one and this one. Things are always getting wrong with the project and i’m getting really disturbed by all the things happening; for the lily pad goes something wrong, and the LED is not working, the thread were touching together and all sort of stuff. I would actually like to stay where I am now and keep on practicing by sewing skills and getting the LED work for this project, because I think I need to fix the gap I have here and develop my hand making skills.
