  I went thru my studio today looking for unlikely items I might use as conductive switches. Which ones are conductive?  Which are not?   Metal Brads   Metal Paper Clips   Metal Thumbtacks   Metal Buttons

  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 […]

    Cleaning up I found a couple of Harry’s boards.   They are beautiful, to me.  

  In March I’ll be in Doha, Qatar leading a workshop on eTextiles and wearable computing. Thanks to MaxBotix’s sponsorship – 25 international students will be working with MB1000 – EZ1 ultrasonic range finders.   This is the same sensor I used for the haptic coat for the blind, Bats Have Feelings Too (2008).
