Hand-weaved textile I made on table loom with black and white thread + EL wire. Large weaved light textile can be interactive light space divider in flats e.g. lofts. EL wire needs inverter to light or blink. I wanted to control EL wire with Arduino so I hacked it. I planned to connect it […]
Bender is an interactive bike light, that helps keeping you safe at night. The product is worn on the upper sleeve. It combines the functions of a back light and a turning signal. Bender is a snap bracelet. It’s light and easy to apply. The light is emitted byred and yellow Electroluminiscent (EL-) surfaces. They […]
For connection I used 3 potentiometers pinned to A0, A1 and A2. And the processing code: // This example code is in the public domain. import processing.serial.*; float redValue = 0; // red value float greenValue = 0; // green value float blueValue = 0; // blue value float xPos=0; float yPos=0; […]
The speaker in general can consists from the following parts: – a coil (thread,wire …) – a neodymium magnet – a vibrant material (plastic, fabric, paper …) I wanted to design home made coil. By researching interesting ideas and designs I run into optimize coil design made by Plusea. My design approach for workshop was […]
We built a 7×7 LED matrix that can be controlled by Charlieplexing, a form of multiplexing. 49 LEDs can be adressed seperately while only using ten pins. Our initial idea was to use the matrix to play animations, kind of like a low-resolution display. We also thaught about ways to translate an input of a […]
The idea was to create a soft switch made of textile. As long as your hand lies on the woven switch a connection is made. By taking the hand away the connection comes to a halt. Here a video demonstrating the process: cashmere_switch The light object consists of four LED that slowly charge while two […]
Light could be flexible and haptic. Integrate electronic into soft materials to bring a new configuration of the object and new perception for users. This week we used the table loom to weave and try to embed lighting unit into the textile in a simple way. I took a EL-wire and woven it with thread […]
For the challenge of creating an interactive light object I decided to experiment with weaving side emitting fiber optics to create an entire fabric that reacted from a sensor. First using the table top loom, I weaved a 20×20 cm sq of fabric, using the side emitting fiber optics in the weft and cotton in […]
When current go through, some conductive materials will also turn warm or even hot, so I tried different kinds of materials and look for a best which can make a heating pad. The red paper will turn white when it feels hot. 1.conductive thread knitting mit common thread. resistance : about 11 Ω when voltage is […]
This is a push button. The following is the data-sheet. After the four black point was cutted, metal panel and the button cylinder were apart and there’s a round panel inside. When push the round panel, it links the metal part in the mittel and the two side metal parts. That’s how does it […]
