Week8: Making your won circuit

pcb_milling_1_small

This week, we make our own PCB design. Lucas Bahle will be showing you how to design PCB on fritzing software and convert it to the file so that CNC milling machine can read it, and we will mill our first PCB! Please download fritzing software from http://fritzing.org/download/ PCB is a short name for Printed […]

This week’s theme: This week, we look into weaving technique as an example method to integrate electronics into materials. You can embed: – conductive thread to embed LED or other types of connections – conductive thread for heating element – EL wire – resistive thread/ yarn to make sensors You can also try knitting, paper […]

Once again, Do you remember how to read sensors -digital sensor (PushButton) -analog sensor (photoCell) Challenge: Connect push button or photocell to your Arduino and check the input on SerialMonitor. ——code——— int photocellValue=0; int buttonValue=0; int buttonPin=5; int photocellPin=A4; // the setup routine runs once when you press reset: void setup() { // initialize serial […]
