week 12
week 12
towards final project
how to make (almost) anything
i am sticking to the pillow idea described in week one.
instead of a timer, the pillow will have pressure sensors as switches located at specific places.
been looking at hannah’s stuff for know how.
i plan to work with conductive fabric and thread to make the sensors and the circuitry.
the fabric and thread have been bought :
soft and safe from
and the thread
also bough conductive epoxy from amazon
the design of the circuit will be done using eagle, the board might be flexible and done in the vinyl cutter, pending on the design.
i want the circuitry leading to inputs and outputs to be visible and integrated into the design of the pillow, making it aesthetically pleasing and enhancing the ‘artifactness’ of it.
i will use the laser cutter to cut it.
i want the chip to be visible and removable, so plan to make a casing for it using skills learn during molding and casting.
