I had finished sewing an Atmel ATtiny45 into a paper breadboard when I realized that I hadn’t programed the micro controller! Luckily I was able to attach alligator clips to the ATtiny45 pins and program the chip with a fade program via an Arduino Uno.    

  What I’ve been working on the past few months….embroidery on an electronic prototype board.        

  Stuck between projects so I started stitching.    

  Solderable breadboard for designing printed circuit boards.      

  Tools to transfer circuit embroidery patterns. Red, black and silver markers to identify the polarity of the traces and a straight edge to keep everything straight.    

  I’ve been using DMC embroidery thread to sew electronic circuit patterns.     Once the circuit is hand stitched with the embroidery floss I add Silverell conductive thread to activate the electronic hardware.      

  Final reviews of the embroidery kit tutorials before being submitted to the US Copyright office.    

  eTextiles on my workbench!     Just like embroidery and Arduino.
