Here is a circuit drawing of the curtain Attach:Circuitcadd.pdf
The second way, the way that was further explored is a single sheet of velostat that carries the charge across the neoprene bend sensors located in the folds of a pleated velostat sheet.

This is a mock up for a pressure sensitive curtain, that is envisioned at a larger scale the scale of a room divider at 10 feet. . The curtain has been made in two ways as an experiment. The first way there is a single sheet of velostat that carries the charge across the neoprene bend sensors located in the folds of a pleated velostat sheet. A second way the curtain was envisioned was as separate units and the velostat was heat sealed into pockets. Slots at the top of each pocket would have to be cut so that the circut can be made. Also if, it was envisioned that if the units were pushed apart the apart the circuit would be broken.

Went with this one for this week.
And this is the curtain unfolded, untied.

This is a mock up for a pressure sensitive curtain, that is actually envisioned at a larger scale the scale of a room divider actually. The curtain has been made in two ways as an experiment. The first way there is a single sheet of velostat that carries the charge across the neoprene bend sensors located in the folds of a pleated velostat sheet. A second way the curtain was envisioned was a separate units, so that if you took the apart the circuit would be broken.
The single folded velostate experiment light ups the attached led when it is bent or compressed. When the curtain is open or unfolded the led is off.

This is my curtain.

The single folded velostat experiment is turned on by tieing a bow connecting the positive side of the battery to the first bend/pressure sensor. The attached led light ups when it is bent or compressed. When the curtain is open or unfolded the led is off.
