Fabric PCB

Maria and Albert’s Laundry Pocket

Have you ever run out of quarters while doing your laundry?  With our laundry pocket, a green light will tell you if you have enough quarters for your next load.

Temperature Sensing Hat

by Judy Zheng Jia and Ilan Moyer Our concept is a hat which measures the wearer’s body temperature using a sensor held against their forehead and then displays the measurement with a color-changing antenna.

PCB Puzzle

For this project, Crystal and I made a multimedia jigsaw puzzle. We used the PCB we made in class to control the interactivity between the conductive elements in our puzzle. There is 1 circuit with 2 paths: one for the light in the puzzle and one for the sound.

PCB LED Cell Phone Case

By Nicole and Heidi At the start, we decided that we wanted to build a prototype that uses pressure sensors to trigger some reaction. With this in mind, we designed a cell phone case that would alert the user to a missed call or text with LEDs. When the phone vibrates, the felt case dampers [...]

Debugging the LilyPads

The concept for this project was to use a microcontroller with two outputs and two inputs to create a fun little game. We have a frog that is trying to catch the LED lit dragonfly. Each time the tongue of the frog is moved (by the user) to touch the lily pad right in front [...]

Fabric PCB

Due: Tuesday, March 8, 2011 See student fabric PCBs here For this assignment you will work in pairs to create an artifact that includes a fabric PCB. The artifact should include an ATtiny85 microcontroller, at least two outputs and at least one digital (switch) input. Projects from last year’s class can be found here. Teams [...]
