  Red LEDs are electron hogs. They will always be the first to glow and even prevent other LEDs from illuminating.     When designing your circuits be sure to isolate the red LEDs from other colors otherwise you’ll have a darkwad in the final design.   read more on LEDs at wikipedia

Bent, Twisted, and Beaded LEDs

on20 February 2014 / in Blog, Hardware, How To, LED

  When working with multiple LEDs for the same project take a moment to determine how to indicate the polarity of the LED.     Before I begin a project I use paint, nail polish, beads, or bend the LEDs positive and negative leads into specific shapes.     This allows me to quickly and accurately add LEDs to the […]

Pressure Sensor

on13 February 2014 / in Blog, Electronics, Hardware, Supplier

  This is a force-sensitive resistor available from Adafruit for $7.00 USD.   Thru hole connections make this pressure sensor easy to adapt for eTextile use.     The sensor pad can be embedded into a textile or paper computing design.   You can also use conductive fabric and velostat to make your own pressure sensor. Just follow my video […]
