Flower Power!

on22 April 2013 / in eTextile, Hardware

I’ve been working on the interactive eTextile flowers that I will present at the Denver Art Museum Untitled event Friday 26 April. Inside this felted stamen I inserted a Maxbotix ultrasonic range finder   This sensor will feed analog information to an ATtiny45.  If the range is within two feet then the 10mm red LEDs will illuminate. If you are […]

  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 […]

Tasmeem – Day 4

on13 March 2013 / in Conductive, Hardware, Workshop

By Day 4 we were all in the creative spirit with our own projects, sharing our new techniques with each other and teaching the interested bystander on how to use conductive thread to make a basic LED circuit.  See one. Do one. Teach one. The M2’s made a glowing pillow!   While Hisham worked on needle felting and integrating Maxbotix’s […]

Tasmeem – Day 3

on12 March 2013 / in Conductive, Hardware, Workshop

By Day 3 the eTextile and paper computing participants were well on their way to creating their own projects.  In the morning I introduced the entire group to the ATtiny45 micro-controllers as a ways to activate the LEDs to blink and fade.  While some chose to stick with basic LED circuits with textile or paper embellishments at least half the group […]

ATtiny45 – Arduino as ISP

on16 February 2013 / in Hardware

Ying Yang After a day of textiles I am programing ATtiny45’s to use at the Tasmeem workshop in March. ATtiny45’s can be easily programed using your arduino. Just follow the tutorial at MIT Media’s High-Low Tech Lab. Data sheet found from Atmel. You can purchase 100 for $63 USD at digiKey

on07 February 2013 / in Electronics, Hardware

ATtiny45’s can be easily programed using your arduino. Just follow the tutorial at MIT Media’s High-Low Tech Lab. Data sheet found from Atmel. I use these for classes and my own projects because they are: inexpensive, 100 for $63 USD at digiKey small and easy to modify enough memory for basic programs, 4KB works with eTextiles and paper computing   […]

on16 January 2013 / in Hardware

A year ago, way back in March 2012, I was testing a circuit using Arduino to program aan ATtiny45 for a dress inspired by Star Trek. Y’all remember the 3rd season “Is There in Truth no Beauty?” episode yes? I had the circuit working and wrote the program down someplace safe because I would need to replicate it for sample […]
