Sewable Electronics Project-Circuit

The Planning

My Original Plan:

My original plan was to make a roulette game where you bet on a number from 1 to 5, and if you get the same number you bet on after spinning the wheel you win. My design also had 2 LEDs that indicated if you win or lose. The background was a 12 by 6 cm felt. Afterwards, I had to change the background to 15 by 10 cm because my design could not fit in the first design. I also had to change the pins that were attached to the LED because the circuit playground express was sewn in the wrong direction

After That This was My New Design:

The Process

Step 1: sewing

I sewn The LEDs to the corresponding pin, and it works. It took around 2 classes or 150 minutes. Sewing wasn’t as hard for me compared to the first project.

Step 2: Coding

The Coding was easy for me; I was able to finish it in less than 40 minutes. I set 2 variables in my code named  win number and pick number. Pick number is the number you pick. Win number is automatically chosen for you. If you get the same pick number as win number, you win, and the lights turn green

The Final Product

Over the course, I learned to sew better. I was able to sew more efficiently, and I didn’t get frustrated when I made a mistake. I would say that everything went well for me this time for sewing. I’m glad that I was able finish it on time. If I will do this project again, next time I would try to design the game so it’s more visually appealing.

My Prototype for the bookmark

This is my final product

This is the back of my final product

In my design, I designed a bookmark with a picture of an UFO. I chose this design because I wanted to make something simple thats also useful. I came up with 3 designs for a bookmark, but I chose this design over the other 2. Since we only had  only 2 weeks to complete the project. I chose this design because it was the most appropriate for the time that we had.  I’m proud that I was able to finish this project. I’ve had trouble sewing, for I had a lack of patience. I get frustrated  when the thread comes off the needle. I’m glad that I was able to finish this project.

Sewing was new to me at first. I didn’t know how to sew, and I’ve never sewed before. It was challenging for me at first since it was new to me, and it required patience.  I would also get frustrated when I do something wrong. After practicing sewing for a few times, it became easier for me.  However, I am still impatient when it comes to sewing.  I think I need to work on solving this problem. An advise I would give to another student would be to take your time when sewing and do not rush. Over the course, I learned that I should work on improving my patience. It’s a problem I always had with sewing. In the following weeks, I’m looking forward to learning how to code.
