The workbench remains littered with ATtiny45’s, Arduino, LEDs, and breadboards.    

  Breadboard prototype test for Five LEDs with Atmel ATtiny45 microcontroller programmed with Arduino to slowly blink out of sequence. Blink Order is: led3, led1, led5, led4, led2     Video can be found on The eTextile Lounge youTube channel.

  Yes please!    

  I didn’t solve this circuit prototype the first time.     So I’m back at it again!    

  Way back in 2011 I used CUPro conductive paint to test different application methods for circuit boards and LEDs. Thanks to my impeccable filing system I just found the sample papers and the paint.     GOOD NEWS – the paint is still is working as a conductive trace! In fact even after three years the resistance remains the […]

  A no-sew conductive trace can be assembled by using Flat Flexible Connectors (FFC) and a conductive ribbon. Simple. Durable. Cost effective.   This conductive ribbon is from Fabrick in 100+ yard orders and has three conductive traces woven into the ribbon.   The FFC is available from DigiKey: Male 609-2178-ND Female 609-2160-ND   Please note that in this example […]

  I use 3V coin cell batteries in many of my eTextile and paper computing projects. They’re small, easy to use, and effectively power multiple LEDs. In general the negative terminal is the underside, unmarked, and has a dotted textured surface. While the positive side will be marked with a + symbol. These CR2032, as with the design of most […]
