Copper foil tape!  For your prototyping and paper computing needs. Fold the tape for the best results.   If the tape is cut and then stuck together the continuity is impeded by the adhesive backing.   Instead fold the tape to maintain the highest continuity (least resistance).   Plan your circuit so that you can best avoid cutting the […]

Yes, I do travel with more computers, hardware and prototyping supplies than clothing.

I don’t know about you, but I order my batteries thru eBay. easy and cheap. As soon as I get them I test a few for longevity. Stay tuned….. I’ll post when the LED goes out. The LED remained illuminated until Monday. Not as bright as I might want but still glowing. All in all – $13 USD for 100 […]

Its taken some time to set up the raspberry pi. And it was worth it!

  Lolwa Hassan Jamal made an eTextile lighthouse from conductive thread, ATtiny45 and a craft tech pressure sensor of conductive fabric and velostat. AWESOME! view on youtube By pressing on the light house door the user activates the LEDs to flicker. She made this three days after being introduced to an LED and 3V battery. I am so impressed!! I […]

I’ve been testing an eTextile prototype to be shown at the Denver Art Museum the last Friday in April 2013.

I’ve been testing some felted pressure sensors for an eTextile projects that will go the Denver Art Museum for a temporary show the end of April. smiles!
