In honor of Ada Lovelace I spent the day cleaning up code and organizing my Arduino sketches.  

  I’ve been making a new conductive fabric from Silverell conductive thread and white silk organza.   Testing the resistance with my Fluke multimeter.   A detail of the French knots shows that the Silverell conductive thread gets twisted and doesn’t consistently slide into a tight knot.  

  Its been a busy month.  

  Legos – a great prototyping tool and creative mind bender!   Good News! I’ve been making more videos!!  

Change up the aesthetics of your blink and bling with these square light emitting diodes. They’re great for weaving!     Two of the leads will be positive and two negative. You’ll be able to identify this by looking at the top of the LED. Mark the positive terminals with a dab of paint or a magic marker to help […]

  Placement of the correct resistor can be crucial!     Know the resistor’s value by using a table such as found on Digikey’s website or download a handy app such as Resistor Color Code to your phone.  

  You’ve purchased a quart of conductive paint, pried the can open, and now you’re wondering how to use it? Not to worry! All you need is a piston syringe to transfer the paint from the can to a squeeze bottle of your choosing.   I found these 60 cc syringes on Amazon.   The least expensive option is a […]
