Switch circuit breadboard prototype.      

  I keep my workbench organized by using a 800 pin breadboard as my electronic pin cushion. Electronics never looked so good.        

  I purchased these push button switches from czb6721960 shop on eBay.   50 blue and white 8mm x 8mm locking square buttons $2.63 item #160994703230           100 black 6mm x 6mm x 5mm 4-pin DIP push button switches $1.59 item #140942027356       And a view of the two switches side by side   […]

  Jazz up your electronic traces with this conductive knit copper tube from Plug and Wear in Italy.   Flexible, solderable, and cuts with a standard scissor.  

  Push Button Switches from Adafruit. Add some color to your circuits!    

I like to use a non-woven conductive fabric because the edges don’t fray when cut with a scissor. Woven rip stop fabric will fray even when using pinking shears. Non-woven conductive fabric has a nice texture and does not fray. The frayed edges of a woven conductive fabric can be used as conductive fringe. Every eTextile project has its own […]

  Using velostat and a non-woven conductive fabric you can craft a simple pressure sensor for wearable computing and eTextile projects.     Use the velostat as a semi-permiable layer between two pieces of conductive fabric to create an interactive switch. Insert this basic pressure switch along either the negative or the positive trace then push it to complete the […]

    Inexpensive and super simple to use.  Switch your eTextile projects on or off with a tilt! This one is $2 from adafruit. Digikey has more accurate tilt ball switches. You can make your own by following this Instructable.  

  “A photoresistor or light dependent resistor (LDR) or photocell is a resistor whose resistance decreases with increasing incident light intensity; in other words, it exhibits photoconductivity.” wikipedia I keep a large supply of these inexpensive sensors on hand. You can find them available at DigiKey.

While in NYC I picked up a few hooks, eyes and sewing supplies. From left to right: Jumbo Hook and Eye Size #11 Hook and Eye Size #7 Heavy Duty Hook and Eye Heavy Duty Hook and Eye Silver
