Transcript of Simple wearables
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?
• Do you have any wearable technology?
• What wearables could be use in a football (soccer) stadium / hospital / skate rink / concert hall?
Task: in pairs or small groups
Design a wearable item for a specific venue?
• What does it do?
• Who is it for?
SHOW N TELL
Present your wearable
Who are you (team)? What is the wearable?
What does it do? Who is it for?
WEARABLES…. THINKING TIME• DESIGN
• CIRCUITS
• LEDS
• CONDUCTIVE THREAD
• CODE (if required)
• POWER
DESIGNWhat are you going to make?
Do you have all the components that you need?
TASK: Individual Design on Paper first
Draw out the LED placement & connections
Power supply
CIRCUITHow is it going to work?
TASK: Individual Paper activity
Draw out the LED placement, connections & power supply
Try an online circuit creator to help
Symbol for Lamp
Symbol for LED
LEDS• Light emitting diodes
• Single colour or addressable RGB (smart) LEDs
• Colour Additive Model
• 256 possible values for each: Red Green Blue
• Value range 0-255
• Total possible colours 16,777,216
LET'S GET MAKING• Decide on a design
• Think about the circuit
• A single thread for Power (+) and Ground (-)
• Take your time :)
TIPS• Draw out your stitching circuit as a guide
• Bend the legs of the LEDs in to stitch-able loops
• Remembered which is + and which is -
• Use a different bend shape or layout to help you remember
• Stitch around the loop of the LED leg a few time to ensure a good connection
• Take your time
