i scream you scream Bare-bones thick copper wire circuitry that doubles as both structural frame and circuit traces. And the Lulu Bumblebee optic-fiber connector PCB works great for soldering to the thick wire! Flickr set >> https://www.flickr.com/photos/plusea/albums/72157677471035377 mask option 1:...

You can divide the voltage with 2 resisters. The voltage gets divided according to the ratio between the 2 resisters. Let’s make an experiment. Here, 5V is divided with 2 resisters. both of them are 10k ohm, so ratio 1:1....

This is a course note and a documentation of the 4 day workshop at the Interface Culture, Kunstuniversität Linz, Austria. The course takes place from January 26 – 29, 10-17:00 Online. The course is given only to the registered students...

In this 2 days online course, we cover the basic introduction of arduino, how to connect and read e-textile sensors and how we can use them to control sound synthesis with Arduino. Starting to work with Arduino Connect your Arduino...

When prototyping quickly and rehearsing with performers to test out different sensor placement set-ups, I do not always have time to create whole sensor garments. I learned about this kinesiolosgy tape from a fried who had a muscle injury. The...

i learned the term “crotch lemon” from rachel freire. a lemon shaped insert to the crotch to avoid wear and tear from leg movement…. the perfect position for a sensor! i made this sensor as part of the goooch suit:

MATERIAL_ADVENTURES_______________ ………………the_boardgame LEVEL2_ THE REMAKE You set off on a journey with another material. You manipulate that material into something you can wear. The goal is to return with an understanding that you are equally remade. As etextile practitioners we...

What have you been up to this past year? A wide open call for samples of your etextile craft _deadline: January 7 2021_ At the end of a year in which the diverse measures taken to live with the covid...

This semester, we are sitting in a strange bubble at home. No casual coffee with your friend between the lectures, no physical exchange of cool weaving trick to speed up your assignment, no hugging, no kissing... Instead of crying over...

! wearing NOT touching ! The sensors in our textile sensors category are often not designed to be worn on the body. This post shows 6 textile sensors that can easily be made to be worn on the body. The...

This example project brings together the making of pressure sensor insoles (https://www.kobakant.at/DIY/?p=8305), the use of an ESP32 wireless arduino board, the MQTT protocol and Shiftr.io broker (https://shiftr.io) to draw lines of text in Processing (and hopefully in future p5.js!). STEP1:...

This workshop is a part of a course at the Art Academy Weissensee Berlin. May7 – July 9 2020 The course took place as weekly online course. The hand book PDF is here >> Meet the Material (May 14) Building...

Rather simple way of making insoles with 3 pressure sensors located at different pressure points of the foot on the ground. The entire circuitry is sewn with conductive thread on sewing machine. The piezoresistive (pressure sensing) material is taped in...

How many times I’ve made various little vibration-motor break-out modules like these so that they can be snapped into wearable projects….. Using either Sugru silicon or Shapelock/polymorph/friendly plastic/thermoplast…… or casting resin ontop.

with NO SCREENS? 5. – 7.05. & 12. – 14.05. 11:00 – 13:00 & 14:00 – 16:00. We will use SENSORS to capture and translate our physical bodily interactions with the world into electronic signals. Use arduino to translate these...

Come study eTextiles in the context of play, theater, participatory performance, storytelling and material puppetry in Berlin! In march 2020 Hannah started a new job, and is now professor in the masters program Spiel&&Objekt (Play&&Object), situated in the contemporary puppetry...

A worksheet for taking note of: The electrical resistance range of an analog sensor (Ohm). Picking a mean resistance in that range. Using a resistor of that resistance to build a Voltage Divider that will translate resistance into voltage. Taking...
