Final Design

Project Finished!

Here is an example video of how the shirt could be used:

The final details of our project can be found on Xanthe's blog.

Zig Zag Frills

I spent a long time sewing the ribbon zig zags onto the shirt and around the LEDs, but it was worth it! The LEDs are now nicely embedded into the design with the use of the ribbon and looks really good.

Aesthetic part of Project

So Xanthe and I decided that we no longer want an over-layer as part of the top. Instead, we've decided to make the LEDs part of the design. We went to buy some decorative fabrics yesterday to stitch around the LEDs to make it look more aesthetically pleasing.

Coding

Today in class I asked Rohan to help me fix the minor kinks within our code. After cleaning up the code a bit, my problem was fixed. The code is now pretty much done. We only need to add the line of code that scales the flex sensor values that we figured out the other day and we're done with the code!

Slowly assembling our project

The bare bones of our project in development:

Flex Sensors Update

So I heard from Craig last night that he finally got our flex sensors and will be bringing them in to uni today. We'll finally be able to finish coding and start putting our project together! In the meantime, Xanthe has been soldering LEDs together and started hooking them up to the lilypad.
