I wanted to work with sewable arduino components, so I bought within the LilyPad system. You could substitute out another arduino board, but then you'd wind up needed ...
It turned out, when my forearms were parallel to the ground, the readings from my x-axis monitor (with the arrow pointing toward my fingers) were around 500.I could ...
Once I was sure my code was working, I sewed the circuit together. Using conductive thread is easier than soldering, but there are also a couple ways to ...
This is the ultimate code I wound up using. (The LEDs come on in a staggered way to give a fade-in/fade-out effect).int Xval;int led1 = 11; int led2 ...
Here are the two problems I had, just in case you run into them: Couldn't get my computer to recognize my arduino board (I) - Turns out I ...
This Halloween, I decided to be Alina Starkov from the Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. In the books, she's the one and only Sun Summoner, doing magic with light and heat.
Since those powers were beyond me, I put together a set of Arduino-controlled gauntlets instead, that would light up on gesture commands and slip under my sleeves. [This set up, with a few tweaks, would probably serve you well for Iron Man, too]
Here's how I did it, and you can check out the gauntlets in action on Vine.
I wanted to work with sewable arduino components, so I bought within the LilyPad system. You could substitute out another arduino board, but then you'd wind up needed to solder, instead of sew. Here's what I got (for a set of two gauntlets, just halve for one):
