Tasmeem – Day 4

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 […]

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

Microcontrollers – ATtiny45’s

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   […]

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 […]
