Instructables Build Night: How to Make Soft Circuits

Instructables held a "themed" build night on Thursday, August 14--the first installment in the new Build Night Series.

Rachel taught a brief lesson about soft circuits and conductive threads/fabrics, and participants got to do some pillow anatomy and see the insides of LED vibrating pillows, fabric sensors, and other electronic-fabric creations. Then, everyone tried to build their own soft circuits in whatever style they wanted.

Check out the promo video below and, if you're interested and in the SF Bay Area, come to Make your own Mouse Mouse with Christy on September 11 or another upcoming event.

The office--aka build night workshop extraordinaire--is located at:
489 Clementina Street, 3rd Floor
San Francisco, CA 94103



We hope to see you there!

...Make your own Mouse Mouse...

Do you have to bring your own mouse, or have you got the traps down?

Damn, that'd be creepy to see someone talking to a mouse in their ear.

joshf (author) in reply to =SMART=Aug 30, 2008. 1:00 PM
absolutely! but you might want to bring your parents along so they don't miss out on the fun. it's a fun social event even if you're not into building.

Nope definitely Atlantic, im in UK
FreshPineSent in reply to =SMART=Aug 31, 2008. 6:08 AM
Yeah, but after that you have to cross North America, which is like another 3,000 miles.

=SMART= in reply to FreshPineSentAug 31, 2008. 7:00 AM
Still dont have to cross the pacific
FreshPineSent in reply to =SMART=Aug 31, 2008. 7:20 AM
Yes, I understand that, I'm just pointing out the significance of a 3,000 mile wide hunk of earth between you and the Build Night.

FreshPineSent in reply to =SMART=Aug 31, 2008. 8:22 AM
Not if the plane crashed while you were asleep.

Derin in reply to FreshPineSentSep 2, 2008. 9:08 AM
thats why we drive cars on our europe tours,and its safe for us since the drivers here drive like crazy and Europeans drive very smoothly,and so we are used to the harder,and everything becomes easier.

Rishnai in reply to DerinSep 2, 2008. 9:59 PM
